Abstract

In this letter, we develop a coarray interpolation method for direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation using the coprime electromagnetic vector-sensor (EMVS) array. Firstly, we derive the coarray signal model of the coprime EMVS array, which can be viewed as a combination of multiple polarization components. Subsequently, we fill in zero elements in each polarization component and recover the corresponding low-rank covariance matrix by solving a nuclear norm minimization (NNM) problem. By exploiting the recovered covariance matrices, we eventually construct a larger covariance matrix to carry out DOA estimation. Numerical experiment results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed algorithm over conventional methods.
