Abstract
Most studies about passive localization of near-field signals are limited to narrowband sources. In this paper, a novel efficient algorithm is developed for direction of arrival (DOA) and range estimation of wideband near-field sources. Using the specific structure of symmetric linear array, the direction information is extracted and the off-grid Sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework is established for DOA estimation. The generalized approximate message passing (GAMP) strategy is applied for fast implementation. Then the envelope aligned approach is proposed for the range estimation in time domain and the linear searching concept is applied to accelerate the computation. Compared with the existing wideband near-field localization methods, the proposed algorithm has better performance of accuracy and resolution probability. Simulation results validate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
