Structured Autocorrelation Matrix Estimation for Coprime Arrays
A coprime array receiver processes a collection of received-signal snapshots to estimate the autocorrelation matrix of a larger (virtual) uniform linear array, known as coarray. By the received-signal model, this matrix has to be (i) Positive-Definite, (ii) Hermitian, (iii) Toeplitz, and (iv) its noise-subspace eigenvalues have to be equal. Existing coarray autocorrelation matrix estimates satisfy a subset of the above conditions. In this work, we propose an optimization framework which offers a novel estimate satisfying all four conditions. Numerical studies illustrate that the proposed estimate outperforms standard counterparts, both in autocorrelation matrix estimation error and Direction-of-Arrival estimation.

Minimum Mean-Squared-Error Autocorrelation Processing in Coprime Arrays
Coprime arrays enable Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation of an increased number of sources. To that end, the receiver estimates the autocorrelation matrix of a larger virtual uniform linear array (coarray), by applyin…
Product Processing for Tapered Sparse Arrays
The product processor output has recently been introduced as a spatial power spectral density estimate, unifying product arrays such as coprime arrays, nested arrays, and standard uniform line arrays. The expected value …
Sparse Sensing with Semi-Coprime Arrays
A semi-coprime array (SCA) interleaves two undersampled uniform linear arrays (ULAs) and a $Q$ element standard ULA. The undersampling factors of the first two arrays are $QM$ and $QN$ respectively where $M$ and $N$ are …
