Abstract
The Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation of coherent signals in co-prime arrays has become a popular research topic. However, traditional spatial smoothing and subspace algorithms fail to perform well under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and small snapshots. To address this issue, we have introduced an Enhanced Spatial Smoothing (ESS) algorithm that utilizes a space-time correlation matrix for de-noising and decoherence. Finally, an Estimating Signal Parameter via Rotational Invariance Techniques (ESPRIT) algorithm is used for DOA estimation. In comparison to other decoherence methods, when the SNR is −8 dB and the number of snapshots is 150, the mean square error (MSE) of the proposed algorithm approaches the Cramér–Rao bound (CRB), the probability of resolution (PoR) can reach over 88%, and, when the angular resolution is greater than 4°, the estimation accuracy can reach over 90%.
