Abstract

Spherical array plays important role in 3D targets localization. In this paper, we develop a novel DOA estimation method for the spherical array with super resolution approach. The proposed method operates in spherical harmonic domain. Based on the atomic norm minimization, we develop a gridless L1-SVD algorithm in spherical harmonic domain and then we adopt the spherical ESPRIT method to two-dimensional DOA estimation. Compared to the previous work, the proposed method acquires better estimation performance. Numerical simulation results verify the performance of the proposed method.
