Abstract

A computationally efficient two-dimensional (2D) direction of arrival (DOA) estimation method based on cylindrical conformal antenna array is investigated in this paper. By dividing the entire array into several sub-arrays and transforming every sub-array to virtual uniform rectangular array (URA) via interpolation technique, the generalization propagator method (GPM) without eigen-decomposition is employed to estimate the noise subspace accurately and quickly. Furthermore, in order to lower the computational complexity of the 2D spectral peak searching, a rank reduction (RARE) method based on URA is utilized to solve the 2D DOAs by successive 1D spectrum functions. At last, some numerical simulations verified the superiority of the proposed method.
