Abstract

Abstract : In this article, we proposed a multiparameter joint estimation algorithm based on the dual-polarized cylindrical conformal array (DCCA) in the presence of mutual coupling. Using the characteristic of the dual-polarized cylindrical conformal array, 2D direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation can be divided into 1D estimations of elevation and azimuth. Sensors on the boundary of the DCCA are set as auxiliary sensors to eliminate the influence of mutual coupling. Then, elevation can be estimated by the generalized eigenvalues utilizing signal subspace eigenvectors (GEESE). After that, polarization sensitivity can be eliminated by projection transformation and the proposed dual-polarized forward-backward smoothing algorithm. Consequently, a dual-polarized spatial spectrum can be developed to estimate the azimuth based on the estimated elevation. Furthermore, the angles of the signals can be reestimated to improve the accuracy of DOA estimation. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
