Abstract
Nowadays, symmetric nonuniform linear arrays (SNLAs) have been considered for mixture near-field (NF) and far-field (FF) source localization since it can provide larger physical array aperture and higher degree-of-freedom (DOF) than uniform linear arrays (ULAs). In this communication, a symmetric extended nested array (SENA) is proposed on the basis of compressed symmetric nested array (CSNA). The closed-form expression for the SENA and its difference coarray (DCA) is presented in detail. For the sake of comparison to the existing SNLAs with sensors, the longer consecutive DCA lags and larger physical array aperture are obtained with optimal design to achieve better estimation results. Numerical results demonstrate that utilizing SS-MUSIC and MUSIC algorithms, the SENA outperforms exiting SNLAs in terms of the DOA and range estimate accuracy for mixture field sources.
