Non-uniform Array and Frequency Spacing for Regularization-free Gridless DOA
Gridless direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation with multiple frequencies can be applied in acoustics source localization problems. We formulate this as an atomic norm minimization (ANM) problem and derive an equivalent regularization-free semi-definite program (SDP) thereby avoiding regularization bias. The DOA is retrieved using a Vandermonde decomposition on the Toeplitz matrix obtained from the solution of the SDP. We also propose a fast SDP program to deal with non-uniform array and frequency spacing. For non-uniform spacings, the Toeplitz structure will not exist, but the DOA is retrieved via irregular Vandermonde decomposition (IVD), and we theoretically guarantee the existence of the IVD. We extend ANM to the multiple measurement vector (MMV) cases and derive its equivalent regularization-free SDP. Using multiple frequencies and the MMV model, we can resolve more sources than the number of physical sensors for a uniform linear array. Numerical results demonstrate that the regularization-free framework is robust to noise and aliasing, and it overcomes the regularization bias.
