In estimating the two-dimensional (2D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) using a coprime planar array there are problems of the limiteddegree of freedom (DOF) and high complexity caused by the spectral peak search We utilize the time-domain characteristicsof signals and present a high DOF algorithm with low complexity based on the noncircular signals The paper first analyzes thecovariance matrix and ellipse covariance matrix of the received signals vectorizes these matrices and then constructs the receiveddata of a virtual uniform rectangular array (URA) 2D spatial smoothing processing is applied to calculate the covariance of thevirtual URA Finally the paper presents an algorithm using 2D multiple signal classification and an improved algorithm usingunitary estimating signal parameters via rotational invariance techniqueswhere the latter solves the closed-form solutions ofDOAsreplacing the spectral peak search to reduce the complexityThe simulation experiments demonstrate that the proposed algorithmsobtain the high DOF and enable to estimate the underdetermined signals Furthermore both two proposed algorithms can acquirethe high accuracy
1 Introduction
Direction-of-arrival (DOA) is a significant research field inmany applications such as radar [1] underwater acoustics[2 3] and indoor navigation At present the uniform andnonsparse arrays are widely applied including uniform linearrays (ULAs) [4] uniform rectangular arrays (URAs) [5]and uniform L-shaped arrays [6] The array spacing of thoseis set to no more than half the wavelength of the impingingsignals We then can obtain the accurate parameters usingthe high-resolution algorithms such as multiple signal clas-sification (MUSIC) [7] root-MUSIC [8] estimating signalparameters via rotational invariance techniques (ESPRIT)[9] and propagatormethod (PM) [10]With the developmentof technology the nonsparse array generally needs moresensors to expand array aperture to meet the requirement formore precise location determination However this process-ing makes the systems more complicated and enhances theantenna mutual coupling interference which increases theestimation errors
To acquire both high array degree of freedom (DOF)and precision researchers have begun to examine the signalfeatures A method proposed in [11] constructs a virtual arrayin the frequency domain combined with spacing featuresbased on orthogonal frequency division multiplexing sys-tems Thus that method not only improves the accuracy ofestimated parameters but also estimates underdeterminedsignals (no less than the number of sensors) Furthermorethe sparse and nonuniform array structure has become afocus The nested array in [12] consists of a uniform andsparse array and a uniform and nonsparse array of whichDOF and precision are high However the nested arraycannot avoid the mutual coupling interference among thesensors of the nonsparse array Thus a one-dimensionalcoprime array consisting of two uniform sparse line arrays isintroduced in [13] This weakens the mutual coupling inter-ference and simultaneously constructs a larger aperture withfewer sensors when compared with uniform and nonsparsearrays Moreover the two-dimensional (2D) coprime planararrays are proposed in [14] which can estimate both azimuth

and elevation angles A partial spectral search (PSS) methodis introduced to reduce the complexity caused by 2D-MUSICmentioned in [14] but PSS is still based on peak search whichdoes not significantly reduce the complexity Moreover theDOF is limited by the number of subarray sensors We haveproposed a method in [15] which uses the covariance matrixof coprime planar array to estimate a new covariance matrixwith matrix completion This processing has much improvedDOF bigger than the number of sensors However matrixcompletion can introduce the additional errors so that itsprecision is limited and it costs much complexity All themethods mentioned above do not take some signal featuresinto consideration
There are many kinds of noncircular signals in moderncommunication systems with such as BPSK ASK and AMmodulation The methods which construct extended virtualarrays and improve the accuracy of estimated parametersbased on noncircular signals are proposed in [16 17] Con-sidering the problems that existing methods for estimatingDOAs of general uncorrelated signals using coprime planararrays have huge computational complexity and low DOFwe present an algorithm to estimate 2D DOAs of underde-termined noncircular signals with low complexity The algo-rithm vectorizes the covariance matrix and ellipse covariancematrix of received signals to construct the new received dataof a virtual URA Combining 2D spatial smoothing process-ing and Unitary-ESPRIT we then realize the fast estimationof 2D DOAs Through constructing a virtual URA with morenumber of sensors than that of coprime planar array weimprove the DOF Moreover Unitary-ESPRIT can solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs replacing the spectral peaksearch to reduce the complexity

2 System Model
Considering the coprime planar array model the arraygeometry is shown in Figure 1 The coprime planar arrayconsists of two URAs Subarray 1 has 1198721 times 1198721 sensors andsubarray 2 has 1198722 times 1198722 sensors where 1198721 and 1198722 arethe coprime integers (generally assuming 1198721 lt 1198722) anddenote the sensor numbers on the 119909 119910 axis Correspondinglythe distance between the two adjacent sensors is 11987221205822 and11987211205822 respectively where the 120582 represents the wavelength ofthe impinging signalsThe subarrays coincide at the origin sothe total number of sensors is 119872 = 11987221 + 11987222 minus 1 Supposethere are 119870 uncorrelated narrowband far-field noncircular

Figure 3 The location of virtual sensors and real sensors whensignals are noncircular and1198721 = 21198722 = 3we calculate the ellipse covariancematrices of received signalsin (1) given by

R10158401015840X = 119864 [XlowastX119867] = AlowastR10158401015840SA119867 (11)
where the ellipse covariance of noise is 0 because noise iscircular R1015840S = 119864[SS119879] and R10158401015840S = 119864[SlowastS119867] And thenoncircular signals S = Slowast so R1015840S = R10158401015840S = RS Vectorizethe ellipse covariance matrix as
Z2 = V119890119888 (R1015840X) = B2p (12)
Z3 = V119890119888 (R10158401015840119883) = B3p (13)
where B2 = A ∘ A and B3 = Alowast ∘ Alowast Thus Z2 and Z3 can bedenoted as the received data of virtual arrays whose manifoldmatrices are defined as B2 and B3 respectively Furthermorecombining the received data of virtual arrays the receiveddata of an extended virtual array is expressed as
Z = [Z1198791 ZT2 ZT3 ]T = Bp + 1205902119899 1119899 (14)
where B = [B1198791 B1198792 B1198793 ]119879 and 1119899 is the noise vector Defineanother two sets 1006704119871 = (119909119898 119910119898)+(119909119899 119910119899) | (119909119898 119910119898) (119909119899 119910119899) isin119871 and S119871= -(119909119898 119910119898) - (119909119899 119910119899) | (119909119898 119910119898) (119909119899 119910119899) isin 119871Hence the location of the extended virtual array is denotedas cup 1006704119871 cup S119871 and the values are shown in Figure 3 Theextended virtual array has the biggest URA size as 119881 times 119881 Asshown in Table 1 using noncircular signals has increased thearray aperture of virtual URAThe received data of the virtualURA after removing the repeated rows is given by

RX = 1119869XX119867 (16)
Similarly the ellipse covariance matrices are R1015840X and R10158401015840XHence the real received data of virtual URA is denoted as
Z = Bp + 1205902119899 e (17)
where p and e is the real impinging signals and noise of virtualarray
32 2D Spatial Smoothing Processing We apply the 2D spatialsmoothing processing to received data of the virtual URAThe detailed smoothing scheme is presented in Figure 4
We first assume the smoothing subarray of size timesThereceived data Z11 of the 2 sensors in the upper right cornerof the virtual URA can be expressed as
Z11 = B11p + e11 (18)
where B11 is the subarray manifold matrix of size 2 times119870 andgiven by
B11 = [b11 (1205931 1205791) sdot sdot sdot b11 (120593119870 120579119870)] (19)
Define the set 11987111 = (119909 119910) | (119881 minus 1)2 minus + 1 le 119909 119910 le (119881minus1)2Thus the any element of b11(120593119896 120579119896) can be expressed as119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119896(119909119898 cos120593119896+119910119898 sin120593119896) (119909119898 119910119898) isin 11987111 There are 119881minus + 1overlapping smoothing subarray from upper right corner toupper left corner The received data of the 2 sensors in theupper left corner Z1119881minus+1 can be given by

where Dcol = diag (119890minus119895120587 sin 1205791 cos1205931 sdot sdot sdot 119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119870 cos120593119870) Sim-ilarly there are 119881 minus + 1 overlapping smoothing subarrayfrom upper right corner to lower right corner The receiveddata of the 2 sensors in the lower right corner Z119881minus+11 canbe given by
Z119881minus+11 = B11D119881minusrow p + e119881minus+11 (21)

where Rp = pp119867 and rank(Rp) = 1 Considering the proof in[18] when (119881 minus + 1)2 gt 119870 rank(Rp) = 119870 which satisfiesthe requirement of using subspace algorithms
33 2D DOA Estimation According to [19] we apply 2D-MUSIC to the smoothing covariance matrix to estimate 2Dangle Take the eigenvalue decomposition of RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119867119899 The spatial spectrum function is givenby
119875 (120593 120579) = 100381710038171003817100381710038171003817U119867119899 b11 (120593 120579)100381710038171003817100381710038171003817minus22 (24)
Using 2D-MUSIC can estimate the angles but the spectralpeak search costs much complexity Considering this wepresent an improved algorithm which uses Unitary-ESPRIT[20 21] to replace 2D-MUSIC Unitary-ESPRIT transformsthe complex matrix into real matrix and solves the closed-form solutions of DOAs to reduce the complexity
First define the inverse matrix Π119896 whose counter-diagonal values are 1 while the others are 0 as (Π119896)2 = I119896The unitary matrix is defined to satisfy
Π119896Qlowast = Q (25)
Moreover the matrix can be expressed as
Q2119896 = 1radic2 [ I119896 119895I119896Π119896 minus119895Π119896] (26)
Q2119896+1 = 1radic2 [[[[I119896 O 119895I119896O119879 radic2 O119879
Π119896 O minus119895Π119896]]]]
(27)
We then define the selection matrix as J1 = [I O] and J2 =[O I] and have
K1 = Re Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (28)
K2 = Im Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (29)
where Re[∙] and Im[∙] denote as the real part and imaginarypart of the matrix or vector respectively Therefore we define
K1205831 = I otimes K1 (30)
K1205832 = I otimes K2 (31)
K]1 = K1 otimes I (32)
K]2 = K2 otimes I (33)
Next we transform RZ to give
R119879 = Re (Q119867
otimesQ119867) RZ (Q119867
otimesQ119867)119867 (34)
where R119879 is a real matrix Taking eigenvalue decompositionof this realmatrix can cost less complexity than RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119878 At last we combine the last two stepand have
Ψ120583 = (K1205831U119878)+K1205832U119878 (35)
Ψ] = (K]1U119878)+K]2U119878 (36)
Define Ψ = Ψ120583 + 119895Ψ] and calculate its eigenvalue vector 120582We can acquire the estimation
119894 = arcsin(radic(120583119894120587 )2 + (]119894120587 )2) (37)
119894 = arctan ( ]119894120583119894) (38)
where (119894 119894)(119894 = 1 119870) is the estimated value 120583119894 =2 arctan(Re(120582119894)) and ]119894 = 2 arctan(Im(120582119894)) Equations (37)and (38) give the closed-form solutions of DOAs thusavoiding the spectral peak search
34 Algorithm Step Conclusion The main steps of the pro-posed algorithm can be summarized as follows
Step 1 Calculate the received signalsrsquo covariance matrix RX

42 Complexity Analysis We analyze the computationalcomplexity of the proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSICand improved proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITcomparing them with that of PSS in [14]
The complexity of the proposed algorithm is madeup of four parts covariance matrix estimation calculatingsmoothing covariance matrix eigenvalue decompositionand 2D-MUSICThe complexities of these parts are119874(31198691198722)119874(((119881 minus + 1))2) 119874((2)3) and 119874(22(2 minus 119870)119866120593119866120579)respectively where 119866120593 and 119866120579 represent the number of spec-tral points The complexity of improved proposed algorithmalso has four parts which is only different in fourth partUnitary-ESPRIT with 119874((22)3 + 1198703) Therefore the com-putational complexity of proposed algorithm is 119874(31198691198722 +((119881minus+1))2+6+22(2minus119870)119866120593119866120579) and that of improvedproposed algorithm is119874(31198691198722+((119881minus+1))2+96 +1198703)Moreover the complexity of PSS is 119874(119869(11987241 + 11987242) + 11987261 +11987262 + 119866120593119866120579(1198724111987222 + 1198724211987221 )) For the sake of claritythe computational complexities of all these methods aresummarized in Table 2 We also compare the complexity ofalgorithmmentioned above versus snapshots (119869) the numberof sensors (119872) and the searching step (Δ120579 = Δ120593 where119866120579 = 90Δ120579119866120593 = 360Δ120593) in Figures 6(a)ndash6(c) respectivelyunder the condition that = (119881 + 1)2
As shown in Figure 6 the improved proposed algo-rithm using Unitary-ESPRIT has the smallest complexityThe proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSIC and PSS has
the larger complexity due to the 2D spectral peak searchThe complexity is huge when the searching step is smallTherefore we introduce the Unitary-ESPRIT to solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs where the searching stepdoes not affect the complexity Compared with the searchingstep the number of snapshots and sensors has the weakerimpact on complexity As a result the improved proposedalgorithm can efficiently reduce the complexity
5 Simulation Results
This section performs the results of simulation experimentscomparing the proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITwith that using 2D-MUSIC and PSS proposed in [14] Tomeasure the accuracy of the algorithms define the root meansquare error (RMSE) as

where 119876 represents the number of simulations 120574 and 119902are denoted as the real values and the 119894th estimated valuesrespectively We assume that the impinging signals are BPSKmodulation which are a kind of noncircular signals ofmaximum noncircular rate Moreover we set = (119881 + 1)2Simulation 1 (performance of estimating underdeterminedsignals) Through the analysis of DOF the proposed algo-rithm and improved proposed algorithm can estimate under-determined signals To verify the ability estimating under-determined signals we consider the case of 119870 = 16 witha signal-of-noise (SNR) of 15dB and 119869 = 5000 We set thecoprime planar array as 1198721 = 2 and 1198722 = 3 (119872 = 12) Thedistribution of the estimated values from20 simulations using2D-MUSIC and Unitary-ESPRIT is presented in Figures 7(a)and 7(b) respectively The figure proves that both algorithmscan estimate DOAs of 16 signals which is more than thenumber of sensors

Simulations are conducted with 1198721 = 2 1198722 = 3 119876 =100 119869 = 5000 and SNRs from minus5dB to 15dB at 5dB intervalsAnd we set 119870 = 2 Δ120579 = 01∘ and 119870 = 6 Δ120579 = 01∘ TheRMSE results are shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively
The RMSEs of the two proposed algorithms are lowerthan that of URA with the same number of sensors becausethe virtual URA has a bigger array aperture The figuresshow that there are gaps between the RMSE of two proposedalgorithm and that of PSS The virtual URA has the samesize as the coprime planar array but the PSS uses moreinformation Nevertheless the gap is not big when their arrayapertures are same Compared with proposed algorithm theimproved proposed algorithm obtains the similarly preciseestimations with much less complexity Moreover whenapplied tomultiple signals (119870 = 6) both proposed algorithmsmaintain their accuracy but the PSS fails

We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research

and elevation angles A partial spectral search (PSS) methodis introduced to reduce the complexity caused by 2D-MUSICmentioned in [14] but PSS is still based on peak search whichdoes not significantly reduce the complexity Moreover theDOF is limited by the number of subarray sensors We haveproposed a method in [15] which uses the covariance matrixof coprime planar array to estimate a new covariance matrixwith matrix completion This processing has much improvedDOF bigger than the number of sensors However matrixcompletion can introduce the additional errors so that itsprecision is limited and it costs much complexity All themethods mentioned above do not take some signal featuresinto consideration
There are many kinds of noncircular signals in moderncommunication systems with such as BPSK ASK and AMmodulation The methods which construct extended virtualarrays and improve the accuracy of estimated parametersbased on noncircular signals are proposed in [16 17] Con-sidering the problems that existing methods for estimatingDOAs of general uncorrelated signals using coprime planararrays have huge computational complexity and low DOFwe present an algorithm to estimate 2D DOAs of underde-termined noncircular signals with low complexity The algo-rithm vectorizes the covariance matrix and ellipse covariancematrix of received signals to construct the new received dataof a virtual URA Combining 2D spatial smoothing process-ing and Unitary-ESPRIT we then realize the fast estimationof 2D DOAs Through constructing a virtual URA with morenumber of sensors than that of coprime planar array weimprove the DOF Moreover Unitary-ESPRIT can solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs replacing the spectral peaksearch to reduce the complexity
The remainder of this paper is arranged as followsSection 2 introduces the model of coprime planar array andSection 3 describes the steps of the algorithm Sections 4 and5 analyze the computational complexity and performance ofthe model respectively to demonstrate the validity of thisalgorithm Section 6 gives the conclusion to this paper
The notations used in this paper are as follows (∙)119879 (∙)lowastand (∙)119867 respectively represent the transposition conjuga-tion and conjugate transposition 119864(∙) denotes the math-ematical expectation diag(∙) expresses the transformationof a vector to a diagonal matrix otimes ∘ and (∙)+ denote theKronecker product Khatri-Rao product and pseudoinverseoperator respectively
2 System Model
Considering the coprime planar array model the arraygeometry is shown in Figure 1 The coprime planar arrayconsists of two URAs Subarray 1 has 1198721 times 1198721 sensors andsubarray 2 has 1198722 times 1198722 sensors where 1198721 and 1198722 arethe coprime integers (generally assuming 1198721 lt 1198722) anddenote the sensor numbers on the 119909 119910 axis Correspondinglythe distance between the two adjacent sensors is 11987221205822 and11987211205822 respectively where the 120582 represents the wavelength ofthe impinging signalsThe subarrays coincide at the origin sothe total number of sensors is 119872 = 11987221 + 11987222 minus 1 Supposethere are 119870 uncorrelated narrowband far-field noncircular

Figure 3 The location of virtual sensors and real sensors whensignals are noncircular and1198721 = 21198722 = 3we calculate the ellipse covariancematrices of received signalsin (1) given by

where the ellipse covariance of noise is 0 because noise iscircular R1015840S = 119864[SS119879] and R10158401015840S = 119864[SlowastS119867] And thenoncircular signals S = Slowast so R1015840S = R10158401015840S = RS Vectorizethe ellipse covariance matrix as

Z3 = V119890119888 (R10158401015840119883) = B3p (13)
where B2 = A ∘ A and B3 = Alowast ∘ Alowast Thus Z2 and Z3 can bedenoted as the received data of virtual arrays whose manifoldmatrices are defined as B2 and B3 respectively Furthermorecombining the received data of virtual arrays the receiveddata of an extended virtual array is expressed as

RX = 1119869XX119867 (16)
Similarly the ellipse covariance matrices are R1015840X and R10158401015840XHence the real received data of virtual URA is denoted as
Z = Bp + 1205902119899 e (17)
where p and e is the real impinging signals and noise of virtualarray
32 2D Spatial Smoothing Processing We apply the 2D spatialsmoothing processing to received data of the virtual URAThe detailed smoothing scheme is presented in Figure 4
We first assume the smoothing subarray of size timesThereceived data Z11 of the 2 sensors in the upper right cornerof the virtual URA can be expressed as
Z11 = B11p + e11 (18)
where B11 is the subarray manifold matrix of size 2 times119870 andgiven by
B11 = [b11 (1205931 1205791) sdot sdot sdot b11 (120593119870 120579119870)] (19)
Define the set 11987111 = (119909 119910) | (119881 minus 1)2 minus + 1 le 119909 119910 le (119881minus1)2Thus the any element of b11(120593119896 120579119896) can be expressed as119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119896(119909119898 cos120593119896+119910119898 sin120593119896) (119909119898 119910119898) isin 11987111 There are 119881minus + 1overlapping smoothing subarray from upper right corner toupper left corner The received data of the 2 sensors in theupper left corner Z1119881minus+1 can be given by

33 2D DOA Estimation According to [19] we apply 2D-MUSIC to the smoothing covariance matrix to estimate 2Dangle Take the eigenvalue decomposition of RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119867119899 The spatial spectrum function is givenby
119875 (120593 120579) = 100381710038171003817100381710038171003817U119867119899 b11 (120593 120579)100381710038171003817100381710038171003817minus22 (24)
Using 2D-MUSIC can estimate the angles but the spectralpeak search costs much complexity Considering this wepresent an improved algorithm which uses Unitary-ESPRIT[20 21] to replace 2D-MUSIC Unitary-ESPRIT transformsthe complex matrix into real matrix and solves the closed-form solutions of DOAs to reduce the complexity
First define the inverse matrix Π119896 whose counter-diagonal values are 1 while the others are 0 as (Π119896)2 = I119896The unitary matrix is defined to satisfy
Π119896Qlowast = Q (25)
Moreover the matrix can be expressed as
Q2119896 = 1radic2 [ I119896 119895I119896Π119896 minus119895Π119896] (26)
Q2119896+1 = 1radic2 [[[[I119896 O 119895I119896O119879 radic2 O119879
Π119896 O minus119895Π119896]]]]
(27)
We then define the selection matrix as J1 = [I O] and J2 =[O I] and have
K1 = Re Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (28)
K2 = Im Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (29)
where Re[∙] and Im[∙] denote as the real part and imaginarypart of the matrix or vector respectively Therefore we define
K1205831 = I otimes K1 (30)
K1205832 = I otimes K2 (31)
K]1 = K1 otimes I (32)
K]2 = K2 otimes I (33)
Next we transform RZ to give
R119879 = Re (Q119867
otimesQ119867) RZ (Q119867
otimesQ119867)119867 (34)
where R119879 is a real matrix Taking eigenvalue decompositionof this realmatrix can cost less complexity than RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119878 At last we combine the last two stepand have
Ψ120583 = (K1205831U119878)+K1205832U119878 (35)
Ψ] = (K]1U119878)+K]2U119878 (36)
Define Ψ = Ψ120583 + 119895Ψ] and calculate its eigenvalue vector 120582We can acquire the estimation
119894 = arcsin(radic(120583119894120587 )2 + (]119894120587 )2) (37)
119894 = arctan ( ]119894120583119894) (38)
where (119894 119894)(119894 = 1 119870) is the estimated value 120583119894 =2 arctan(Re(120582119894)) and ]119894 = 2 arctan(Im(120582119894)) Equations (37)and (38) give the closed-form solutions of DOAs thusavoiding the spectral peak search

42 Complexity Analysis We analyze the computationalcomplexity of the proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSICand improved proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITcomparing them with that of PSS in [14]
The complexity of the proposed algorithm is madeup of four parts covariance matrix estimation calculatingsmoothing covariance matrix eigenvalue decompositionand 2D-MUSICThe complexities of these parts are119874(31198691198722)119874(((119881 minus + 1))2) 119874((2)3) and 119874(22(2 minus 119870)119866120593119866120579)respectively where 119866120593 and 119866120579 represent the number of spec-tral points The complexity of improved proposed algorithmalso has four parts which is only different in fourth partUnitary-ESPRIT with 119874((22)3 + 1198703) Therefore the com-putational complexity of proposed algorithm is 119874(31198691198722 +((119881minus+1))2+6+22(2minus119870)119866120593119866120579) and that of improvedproposed algorithm is119874(31198691198722+((119881minus+1))2+96 +1198703)Moreover the complexity of PSS is 119874(119869(11987241 + 11987242) + 11987261 +11987262 + 119866120593119866120579(1198724111987222 + 1198724211987221 )) For the sake of claritythe computational complexities of all these methods aresummarized in Table 2 We also compare the complexity ofalgorithmmentioned above versus snapshots (119869) the numberof sensors (119872) and the searching step (Δ120579 = Δ120593 where119866120579 = 90Δ120579119866120593 = 360Δ120593) in Figures 6(a)ndash6(c) respectivelyunder the condition that = (119881 + 1)2
As shown in Figure 6 the improved proposed algo-rithm using Unitary-ESPRIT has the smallest complexityThe proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSIC and PSS has
the larger complexity due to the 2D spectral peak searchThe complexity is huge when the searching step is smallTherefore we introduce the Unitary-ESPRIT to solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs where the searching stepdoes not affect the complexity Compared with the searchingstep the number of snapshots and sensors has the weakerimpact on complexity As a result the improved proposedalgorithm can efficiently reduce the complexity

where 119876 represents the number of simulations 120574 and 119902are denoted as the real values and the 119894th estimated valuesrespectively We assume that the impinging signals are BPSKmodulation which are a kind of noncircular signals ofmaximum noncircular rate Moreover we set = (119881 + 1)2Simulation 1 (performance of estimating underdeterminedsignals) Through the analysis of DOF the proposed algo-rithm and improved proposed algorithm can estimate under-determined signals To verify the ability estimating under-determined signals we consider the case of 119870 = 16 witha signal-of-noise (SNR) of 15dB and 119869 = 5000 We set thecoprime planar array as 1198721 = 2 and 1198722 = 3 (119872 = 12) Thedistribution of the estimated values from20 simulations using2D-MUSIC and Unitary-ESPRIT is presented in Figures 7(a)and 7(b) respectively The figure proves that both algorithmscan estimate DOAs of 16 signals which is more than thenumber of sensors
Simulation 2 RMSE comparison of the proposed algorithmimproved proposed algorithm PSS and the URA with thesame number of sensors [22] under different SNRs
Simulations are conducted with 1198721 = 2 1198722 = 3 119876 =100 119869 = 5000 and SNRs from minus5dB to 15dB at 5dB intervalsAnd we set 119870 = 2 Δ120579 = 01∘ and 119870 = 6 Δ120579 = 01∘ TheRMSE results are shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively
The RMSEs of the two proposed algorithms are lowerthan that of URA with the same number of sensors becausethe virtual URA has a bigger array aperture The figuresshow that there are gaps between the RMSE of two proposedalgorithm and that of PSS The virtual URA has the samesize as the coprime planar array but the PSS uses moreinformation Nevertheless the gap is not big when their arrayapertures are same Compared with proposed algorithm theimproved proposed algorithm obtains the similarly preciseestimations with much less complexity Moreover whenapplied tomultiple signals (119870 = 6) both proposed algorithmsmaintain their accuracy but the PSS fails

We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research
6 Conclusions
The paper has proposed a 2D DOA estimation algorithmusing a coprime planar array for noncircular signals whichhas much improved the DOF and reduced the complexityThe paper has described the model and the associated algo-rithms and analyzed the DOF and computational complexityof the proposed algorithms in comparison with that ofexisting algorithms Through the theoretical analysis andsimulation experiments we conclude that the proposedalgorithms can obtain the higher accuracy than theURAwiththe same number of sensors where the proposed algorithmsconstruct a more bigger virtual URA aperture based onthe coprime planar array Compared with DOF of PSS as

Considering (1) the covariance matrix of the receivedsignals is defined as

where RS = 119864[SS119867] = diag(12059021 12059021 1205902119870) Vectorize thecovariance matrix in (7) as
Z1 = V119890119888 (RX) = B1p + 12059021198991119899 (8)
where p = [12059021 12059022 1205902119870]119879 1119899 = V119890119888(I119872) andB1 = [b1 (1205931 1205791) sdot sdot sdot b1 (120593119870 120579119870)]= [alowast (1205931 1205791) otimes a (1205931 1205791) sdot sdot sdot alowast (120593119870 120579119870) otimes a (120593119870 120579119870)]= Alowast ∘ A

Define the new set as = (119909119898 119910119898) minus (119909119899 119910119899) |(119909119898 119910119898) (119909119899 119910119899) isin 119871Thus the any element of 1198871(120593119896 120579119896) canbe expressed as 119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119896(119909119898 cos120593119896+119910119898 sin120593119896) (119909119898 119910119898) isin Z1 canbe denoted as the received data of a virtual array containingone snapshot whose manifold matrix is defined as B1 And119871 and represent the location set of real array and virtualarray respectively As shown in Figure 2 the virtual array isnot a completed URA because there are holes We can use theconsecutive uniform and nonsparse virtual array to resolveDOAs which avoids the ambiguous results and enhances theDOF but this method loses much array aperture and has notsignificant improvement on DOF

Figure 3 The location of virtual sensors and real sensors whensignals are noncircular and1198721 = 21198722 = 3we calculate the ellipse covariancematrices of received signalsin (1) given by
R1015840X = 119864 [XXT] = AR1015840SA119879 (10)
R10158401015840X = 119864 [XlowastX119867] = AlowastR10158401015840SA119867 (11)
where the ellipse covariance of noise is 0 because noise iscircular R1015840S = 119864[SS119879] and R10158401015840S = 119864[SlowastS119867] And thenoncircular signals S = Slowast so R1015840S = R10158401015840S = RS Vectorizethe ellipse covariance matrix as
Z2 = V119890119888 (R1015840X) = B2p (12)
Z3 = V119890119888 (R10158401015840119883) = B3p (13)
where B2 = A ∘ A and B3 = Alowast ∘ Alowast Thus Z2 and Z3 can bedenoted as the received data of virtual arrays whose manifoldmatrices are defined as B2 and B3 respectively Furthermorecombining the received data of virtual arrays the receiveddata of an extended virtual array is expressed as
Z = [Z1198791 ZT2 ZT3 ]T = Bp + 1205902119899 1119899 (14)
where B = [B1198791 B1198792 B1198793 ]119879 and 1119899 is the noise vector Defineanother two sets 1006704119871 = (119909119898 119910119898)+(119909119899 119910119899) | (119909119898 119910119898) (119909119899 119910119899) isin119871 and S119871= -(119909119898 119910119898) - (119909119899 119910119899) | (119909119898 119910119898) (119909119899 119910119899) isin 119871Hence the location of the extended virtual array is denotedas cup 1006704119871 cup S119871 and the values are shown in Figure 3 Theextended virtual array has the biggest URA size as 119881 times 119881 Asshown in Table 1 using noncircular signals has increased thearray aperture of virtual URAThe received data of the virtualURA after removing the repeated rows is given by

RX = 1119869XX119867 (16)
Similarly the ellipse covariance matrices are R1015840X and R10158401015840XHence the real received data of virtual URA is denoted as

32 2D Spatial Smoothing Processing We apply the 2D spatialsmoothing processing to received data of the virtual URAThe detailed smoothing scheme is presented in Figure 4
We first assume the smoothing subarray of size timesThereceived data Z11 of the 2 sensors in the upper right cornerof the virtual URA can be expressed as
Z11 = B11p + e11 (18)
where B11 is the subarray manifold matrix of size 2 times119870 andgiven by
B11 = [b11 (1205931 1205791) sdot sdot sdot b11 (120593119870 120579119870)] (19)
Define the set 11987111 = (119909 119910) | (119881 minus 1)2 minus + 1 le 119909 119910 le (119881minus1)2Thus the any element of b11(120593119896 120579119896) can be expressed as119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119896(119909119898 cos120593119896+119910119898 sin120593119896) (119909119898 119910119898) isin 11987111 There are 119881minus + 1overlapping smoothing subarray from upper right corner toupper left corner The received data of the 2 sensors in theupper left corner Z1119881minus+1 can be given by
Z1119881minus+1 = B11D119881minuscol p + e1119881minus+1 (20)
where Dcol = diag (119890minus119895120587 sin 1205791 cos1205931 sdot sdot sdot 119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119870 cos120593119870) Sim-ilarly there are 119881 minus + 1 overlapping smoothing subarrayfrom upper right corner to lower right corner The receiveddata of the 2 sensors in the lower right corner Z119881minus+11 canbe given by
Z119881minus+11 = B11D119881minusrow p + e119881minus+11 (21)

where Rp = pp119867 and rank(Rp) = 1 Considering the proof in[18] when (119881 minus + 1)2 gt 119870 rank(Rp) = 119870 which satisfiesthe requirement of using subspace algorithms
33 2D DOA Estimation According to [19] we apply 2D-MUSIC to the smoothing covariance matrix to estimate 2Dangle Take the eigenvalue decomposition of RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119867119899 The spatial spectrum function is givenby
119875 (120593 120579) = 100381710038171003817100381710038171003817U119867119899 b11 (120593 120579)100381710038171003817100381710038171003817minus22 (24)
Using 2D-MUSIC can estimate the angles but the spectralpeak search costs much complexity Considering this wepresent an improved algorithm which uses Unitary-ESPRIT[20 21] to replace 2D-MUSIC Unitary-ESPRIT transformsthe complex matrix into real matrix and solves the closed-form solutions of DOAs to reduce the complexity
First define the inverse matrix Π119896 whose counter-diagonal values are 1 while the others are 0 as (Π119896)2 = I119896The unitary matrix is defined to satisfy
Π119896Qlowast = Q (25)
Moreover the matrix can be expressed as
Q2119896 = 1radic2 [ I119896 119895I119896Π119896 minus119895Π119896] (26)
Q2119896+1 = 1radic2 [[[[I119896 O 119895I119896O119879 radic2 O119879
Π119896 O minus119895Π119896]]]]
(27)
We then define the selection matrix as J1 = [I O] and J2 =[O I] and have
K1 = Re Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (28)
K2 = Im Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (29)
where Re[∙] and Im[∙] denote as the real part and imaginarypart of the matrix or vector respectively Therefore we define
K1205831 = I otimes K1 (30)
K1205832 = I otimes K2 (31)
K]1 = K1 otimes I (32)
K]2 = K2 otimes I (33)
Next we transform RZ to give
R119879 = Re (Q119867
otimesQ119867) RZ (Q119867
otimesQ119867)119867 (34)
where R119879 is a real matrix Taking eigenvalue decompositionof this realmatrix can cost less complexity than RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119878 At last we combine the last two stepand have
Ψ120583 = (K1205831U119878)+K1205832U119878 (35)
Ψ] = (K]1U119878)+K]2U119878 (36)
Define Ψ = Ψ120583 + 119895Ψ] and calculate its eigenvalue vector 120582We can acquire the estimation
119894 = arcsin(radic(120583119894120587 )2 + (]119894120587 )2) (37)
119894 = arctan ( ]119894120583119894) (38)
where (119894 119894)(119894 = 1 119870) is the estimated value 120583119894 =2 arctan(Re(120582119894)) and ]119894 = 2 arctan(Im(120582119894)) Equations (37)and (38) give the closed-form solutions of DOAs thusavoiding the spectral peak search
34 Algorithm Step Conclusion The main steps of the pro-posed algorithm can be summarized as follows
Step 1 Calculate the received signalsrsquo covariance matrix RX
and ellipse covariance matrices R1015840X R10158401015840X
Step 2 Vectorize those covariance matrices and construct thereceived data of the virtual URA
Step 3 Apply 2D spatial smoothing processing and calculatethe smoothing covariance matrix R119885 via (22)
Step 4 Use Unitary-ESPRIT to estimate (119894 119894) (119894 = 1 119870)4 DOF and ComputationalComplexity Analysis

42 Complexity Analysis We analyze the computationalcomplexity of the proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSICand improved proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITcomparing them with that of PSS in [14]
The complexity of the proposed algorithm is madeup of four parts covariance matrix estimation calculatingsmoothing covariance matrix eigenvalue decompositionand 2D-MUSICThe complexities of these parts are119874(31198691198722)119874(((119881 minus + 1))2) 119874((2)3) and 119874(22(2 minus 119870)119866120593119866120579)respectively where 119866120593 and 119866120579 represent the number of spec-tral points The complexity of improved proposed algorithmalso has four parts which is only different in fourth partUnitary-ESPRIT with 119874((22)3 + 1198703) Therefore the com-putational complexity of proposed algorithm is 119874(31198691198722 +((119881minus+1))2+6+22(2minus119870)119866120593119866120579) and that of improvedproposed algorithm is119874(31198691198722+((119881minus+1))2+96 +1198703)Moreover the complexity of PSS is 119874(119869(11987241 + 11987242) + 11987261 +11987262 + 119866120593119866120579(1198724111987222 + 1198724211987221 )) For the sake of claritythe computational complexities of all these methods aresummarized in Table 2 We also compare the complexity ofalgorithmmentioned above versus snapshots (119869) the numberof sensors (119872) and the searching step (Δ120579 = Δ120593 where119866120579 = 90Δ120579119866120593 = 360Δ120593) in Figures 6(a)ndash6(c) respectivelyunder the condition that = (119881 + 1)2
As shown in Figure 6 the improved proposed algo-rithm using Unitary-ESPRIT has the smallest complexityThe proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSIC and PSS has
the larger complexity due to the 2D spectral peak searchThe complexity is huge when the searching step is smallTherefore we introduce the Unitary-ESPRIT to solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs where the searching stepdoes not affect the complexity Compared with the searchingstep the number of snapshots and sensors has the weakerimpact on complexity As a result the improved proposedalgorithm can efficiently reduce the complexity
5 Simulation Results
This section performs the results of simulation experimentscomparing the proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITwith that using 2D-MUSIC and PSS proposed in [14] Tomeasure the accuracy of the algorithms define the root meansquare error (RMSE) as

where 119876 represents the number of simulations 120574 and 119902are denoted as the real values and the 119894th estimated valuesrespectively We assume that the impinging signals are BPSKmodulation which are a kind of noncircular signals ofmaximum noncircular rate Moreover we set = (119881 + 1)2Simulation 1 (performance of estimating underdeterminedsignals) Through the analysis of DOF the proposed algo-rithm and improved proposed algorithm can estimate under-determined signals To verify the ability estimating under-determined signals we consider the case of 119870 = 16 witha signal-of-noise (SNR) of 15dB and 119869 = 5000 We set thecoprime planar array as 1198721 = 2 and 1198722 = 3 (119872 = 12) Thedistribution of the estimated values from20 simulations using2D-MUSIC and Unitary-ESPRIT is presented in Figures 7(a)and 7(b) respectively The figure proves that both algorithmscan estimate DOAs of 16 signals which is more than thenumber of sensors
Simulation 2 RMSE comparison of the proposed algorithmimproved proposed algorithm PSS and the URA with thesame number of sensors [22] under different SNRs
Simulations are conducted with 1198721 = 2 1198722 = 3 119876 =100 119869 = 5000 and SNRs from minus5dB to 15dB at 5dB intervalsAnd we set 119870 = 2 Δ120579 = 01∘ and 119870 = 6 Δ120579 = 01∘ TheRMSE results are shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively
The RMSEs of the two proposed algorithms are lowerthan that of URA with the same number of sensors becausethe virtual URA has a bigger array aperture The figuresshow that there are gaps between the RMSE of two proposedalgorithm and that of PSS The virtual URA has the samesize as the coprime planar array but the PSS uses moreinformation Nevertheless the gap is not big when their arrayapertures are same Compared with proposed algorithm theimproved proposed algorithm obtains the similarly preciseestimations with much less complexity Moreover whenapplied tomultiple signals (119870 = 6) both proposed algorithmsmaintain their accuracy but the PSS fails

We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research

Figure 4 Spatial smoothing processing schemewhen = (119881+1)2where B is the manifold matrix of size1198812times119870 and e is a vectorof all zeros except a 1 corresponding to the virtual sensor at(0 0) In practice because of the limited number of snapshotsthe covariance matrix is usually estimated as
RX = 1119869XX119867 (16)
Similarly the ellipse covariance matrices are R1015840X and R10158401015840XHence the real received data of virtual URA is denoted as
Z = Bp + 1205902119899 e (17)
where p and e is the real impinging signals and noise of virtualarray
32 2D Spatial Smoothing Processing We apply the 2D spatialsmoothing processing to received data of the virtual URAThe detailed smoothing scheme is presented in Figure 4
We first assume the smoothing subarray of size timesThereceived data Z11 of the 2 sensors in the upper right cornerof the virtual URA can be expressed as
Z11 = B11p + e11 (18)
where B11 is the subarray manifold matrix of size 2 times119870 andgiven by
B11 = [b11 (1205931 1205791) sdot sdot sdot b11 (120593119870 120579119870)] (19)
Define the set 11987111 = (119909 119910) | (119881 minus 1)2 minus + 1 le 119909 119910 le (119881minus1)2Thus the any element of b11(120593119896 120579119896) can be expressed as119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119896(119909119898 cos120593119896+119910119898 sin120593119896) (119909119898 119910119898) isin 11987111 There are 119881minus + 1overlapping smoothing subarray from upper right corner toupper left corner The received data of the 2 sensors in theupper left corner Z1119881minus+1 can be given by
Z1119881minus+1 = B11D119881minuscol p + e1119881minus+1 (20)
where Dcol = diag (119890minus119895120587 sin 1205791 cos1205931 sdot sdot sdot 119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119870 cos120593119870) Sim-ilarly there are 119881 minus + 1 overlapping smoothing subarrayfrom upper right corner to lower right corner The receiveddata of the 2 sensors in the lower right corner Z119881minus+11 canbe given by
Z119881minus+11 = B11D119881minusrow p + e119881minus+11 (21)
where Drow = diag (119890minus119895120587 sin 1205791 sin1205931 sdot sdot sdot 119890minus119895120587 sin 120579119870 sin120593119870) Thusas for a 119881 times 119881 virtual URA there are total (119881 minus +1)2 overlapping subarrays Hence the smoothing covariancematrix can be calculated by averaging over the correspondingcovariance matrix of the (119881 minus + 1)2 subarrays to obtain

where Rp = pp119867 and rank(Rp) = 1 Considering the proof in[18] when (119881 minus + 1)2 gt 119870 rank(Rp) = 119870 which satisfiesthe requirement of using subspace algorithms
33 2D DOA Estimation According to [19] we apply 2D-MUSIC to the smoothing covariance matrix to estimate 2Dangle Take the eigenvalue decomposition of RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119867119899 The spatial spectrum function is givenby
119875 (120593 120579) = 100381710038171003817100381710038171003817U119867119899 b11 (120593 120579)100381710038171003817100381710038171003817minus22 (24)
Using 2D-MUSIC can estimate the angles but the spectralpeak search costs much complexity Considering this wepresent an improved algorithm which uses Unitary-ESPRIT[20 21] to replace 2D-MUSIC Unitary-ESPRIT transformsthe complex matrix into real matrix and solves the closed-form solutions of DOAs to reduce the complexity
First define the inverse matrix Π119896 whose counter-diagonal values are 1 while the others are 0 as (Π119896)2 = I119896The unitary matrix is defined to satisfy
Π119896Qlowast = Q (25)
Moreover the matrix can be expressed as
Q2119896 = 1radic2 [ I119896 119895I119896Π119896 minus119895Π119896] (26)
Q2119896+1 = 1radic2 [[[[I119896 O 119895I119896O119879 radic2 O119879
Π119896 O minus119895Π119896]]]]
(27)
We then define the selection matrix as J1 = [I O] and J2 =[O I] and have
K1 = Re Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (28)
K2 = Im Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (29)
where Re[∙] and Im[∙] denote as the real part and imaginarypart of the matrix or vector respectively Therefore we define
K1205831 = I otimes K1 (30)
K1205832 = I otimes K2 (31)
K]1 = K1 otimes I (32)
K]2 = K2 otimes I (33)
Next we transform RZ to give
R119879 = Re (Q119867
otimesQ119867) RZ (Q119867
otimesQ119867)119867 (34)
where R119879 is a real matrix Taking eigenvalue decompositionof this realmatrix can cost less complexity than RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119878 At last we combine the last two stepand have
Ψ120583 = (K1205831U119878)+K1205832U119878 (35)
Ψ] = (K]1U119878)+K]2U119878 (36)
Define Ψ = Ψ120583 + 119895Ψ] and calculate its eigenvalue vector 120582We can acquire the estimation
119894 = arcsin(radic(120583119894120587 )2 + (]119894120587 )2) (37)
119894 = arctan ( ]119894120583119894) (38)
where (119894 119894)(119894 = 1 119870) is the estimated value 120583119894 =2 arctan(Re(120582119894)) and ]119894 = 2 arctan(Im(120582119894)) Equations (37)and (38) give the closed-form solutions of DOAs thusavoiding the spectral peak search
34 Algorithm Step Conclusion The main steps of the pro-posed algorithm can be summarized as follows
Step 1 Calculate the received signalsrsquo covariance matrix RX
and ellipse covariance matrices R1015840X R10158401015840X
Step 2 Vectorize those covariance matrices and construct thereceived data of the virtual URA
Step 3 Apply 2D spatial smoothing processing and calculatethe smoothing covariance matrix R119885 via (22)
Step 4 Use Unitary-ESPRIT to estimate (119894 119894) (119894 = 1 119870)4 DOF and ComputationalComplexity Analysis

42 Complexity Analysis We analyze the computationalcomplexity of the proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSICand improved proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITcomparing them with that of PSS in [14]
The complexity of the proposed algorithm is madeup of four parts covariance matrix estimation calculatingsmoothing covariance matrix eigenvalue decompositionand 2D-MUSICThe complexities of these parts are119874(31198691198722)119874(((119881 minus + 1))2) 119874((2)3) and 119874(22(2 minus 119870)119866120593119866120579)respectively where 119866120593 and 119866120579 represent the number of spec-tral points The complexity of improved proposed algorithmalso has four parts which is only different in fourth partUnitary-ESPRIT with 119874((22)3 + 1198703) Therefore the com-putational complexity of proposed algorithm is 119874(31198691198722 +((119881minus+1))2+6+22(2minus119870)119866120593119866120579) and that of improvedproposed algorithm is119874(31198691198722+((119881minus+1))2+96 +1198703)Moreover the complexity of PSS is 119874(119869(11987241 + 11987242) + 11987261 +11987262 + 119866120593119866120579(1198724111987222 + 1198724211987221 )) For the sake of claritythe computational complexities of all these methods aresummarized in Table 2 We also compare the complexity ofalgorithmmentioned above versus snapshots (119869) the numberof sensors (119872) and the searching step (Δ120579 = Δ120593 where119866120579 = 90Δ120579119866120593 = 360Δ120593) in Figures 6(a)ndash6(c) respectivelyunder the condition that = (119881 + 1)2
As shown in Figure 6 the improved proposed algo-rithm using Unitary-ESPRIT has the smallest complexityThe proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSIC and PSS has
the larger complexity due to the 2D spectral peak searchThe complexity is huge when the searching step is smallTherefore we introduce the Unitary-ESPRIT to solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs where the searching stepdoes not affect the complexity Compared with the searchingstep the number of snapshots and sensors has the weakerimpact on complexity As a result the improved proposedalgorithm can efficiently reduce the complexity
5 Simulation Results
This section performs the results of simulation experimentscomparing the proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITwith that using 2D-MUSIC and PSS proposed in [14] Tomeasure the accuracy of the algorithms define the root meansquare error (RMSE) as
RMSE = radic 1119876119870119876sum119902=1
10038171003817100381710038171003817120574 minus 119902100381710038171003817100381710038172 (39)
where 119876 represents the number of simulations 120574 and 119902are denoted as the real values and the 119894th estimated valuesrespectively We assume that the impinging signals are BPSKmodulation which are a kind of noncircular signals ofmaximum noncircular rate Moreover we set = (119881 + 1)2Simulation 1 (performance of estimating underdeterminedsignals) Through the analysis of DOF the proposed algo-rithm and improved proposed algorithm can estimate under-determined signals To verify the ability estimating under-determined signals we consider the case of 119870 = 16 witha signal-of-noise (SNR) of 15dB and 119869 = 5000 We set thecoprime planar array as 1198721 = 2 and 1198722 = 3 (119872 = 12) Thedistribution of the estimated values from20 simulations using2D-MUSIC and Unitary-ESPRIT is presented in Figures 7(a)and 7(b) respectively The figure proves that both algorithmscan estimate DOAs of 16 signals which is more than thenumber of sensors
Simulation 2 RMSE comparison of the proposed algorithmimproved proposed algorithm PSS and the URA with thesame number of sensors [22] under different SNRs
Simulations are conducted with 1198721 = 2 1198722 = 3 119876 =100 119869 = 5000 and SNRs from minus5dB to 15dB at 5dB intervalsAnd we set 119870 = 2 Δ120579 = 01∘ and 119870 = 6 Δ120579 = 01∘ TheRMSE results are shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively
The RMSEs of the two proposed algorithms are lowerthan that of URA with the same number of sensors becausethe virtual URA has a bigger array aperture The figuresshow that there are gaps between the RMSE of two proposedalgorithm and that of PSS The virtual URA has the samesize as the coprime planar array but the PSS uses moreinformation Nevertheless the gap is not big when their arrayapertures are same Compared with proposed algorithm theimproved proposed algorithm obtains the similarly preciseestimations with much less complexity Moreover whenapplied tomultiple signals (119870 = 6) both proposed algorithmsmaintain their accuracy but the PSS fails

We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research

where Rp = pp119867 and rank(Rp) = 1 Considering the proof in[18] when (119881 minus + 1)2 gt 119870 rank(Rp) = 119870 which satisfiesthe requirement of using subspace algorithms
33 2D DOA Estimation According to [19] we apply 2D-MUSIC to the smoothing covariance matrix to estimate 2Dangle Take the eigenvalue decomposition of RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119867119899 The spatial spectrum function is givenby
119875 (120593 120579) = 100381710038171003817100381710038171003817U119867119899 b11 (120593 120579)100381710038171003817100381710038171003817minus22 (24)
Using 2D-MUSIC can estimate the angles but the spectralpeak search costs much complexity Considering this wepresent an improved algorithm which uses Unitary-ESPRIT[20 21] to replace 2D-MUSIC Unitary-ESPRIT transformsthe complex matrix into real matrix and solves the closed-form solutions of DOAs to reduce the complexity
First define the inverse matrix Π119896 whose counter-diagonal values are 1 while the others are 0 as (Π119896)2 = I119896The unitary matrix is defined to satisfy
Π119896Qlowast = Q (25)
Moreover the matrix can be expressed as
Q2119896 = 1radic2 [ I119896 119895I119896Π119896 minus119895Π119896] (26)
Q2119896+1 = 1radic2 [[[[I119896 O 119895I119896O119879 radic2 O119879
Π119896 O minus119895Π119896]]]]
(27)
We then define the selection matrix as J1 = [I O] and J2 =[O I] and have
K1 = Re Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (28)
K2 = Im Q119867minus1
J2Q119867 (29)
where Re[∙] and Im[∙] denote as the real part and imaginarypart of the matrix or vector respectively Therefore we define
K1205831 = I otimes K1 (30)
K1205832 = I otimes K2 (31)
K]1 = K1 otimes I (32)
K]2 = K2 otimes I (33)
Next we transform RZ to give
R119879 = Re (Q119867
otimesQ119867) RZ (Q119867
otimesQ119867)119867 (34)
where R119879 is a real matrix Taking eigenvalue decompositionof this realmatrix can cost less complexity than RZ and obtainthe noise subspace U119878 At last we combine the last two stepand have
Ψ120583 = (K1205831U119878)+K1205832U119878 (35)
Ψ] = (K]1U119878)+K]2U119878 (36)
Define Ψ = Ψ120583 + 119895Ψ] and calculate its eigenvalue vector 120582We can acquire the estimation
119894 = arcsin(radic(120583119894120587 )2 + (]119894120587 )2) (37)
119894 = arctan ( ]119894120583119894) (38)
where (119894 119894)(119894 = 1 119870) is the estimated value 120583119894 =2 arctan(Re(120582119894)) and ]119894 = 2 arctan(Im(120582119894)) Equations (37)and (38) give the closed-form solutions of DOAs thusavoiding the spectral peak search

42 Complexity Analysis We analyze the computationalcomplexity of the proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSICand improved proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITcomparing them with that of PSS in [14]
The complexity of the proposed algorithm is madeup of four parts covariance matrix estimation calculatingsmoothing covariance matrix eigenvalue decompositionand 2D-MUSICThe complexities of these parts are119874(31198691198722)119874(((119881 minus + 1))2) 119874((2)3) and 119874(22(2 minus 119870)119866120593119866120579)respectively where 119866120593 and 119866120579 represent the number of spec-tral points The complexity of improved proposed algorithmalso has four parts which is only different in fourth partUnitary-ESPRIT with 119874((22)3 + 1198703) Therefore the com-putational complexity of proposed algorithm is 119874(31198691198722 +((119881minus+1))2+6+22(2minus119870)119866120593119866120579) and that of improvedproposed algorithm is119874(31198691198722+((119881minus+1))2+96 +1198703)Moreover the complexity of PSS is 119874(119869(11987241 + 11987242) + 11987261 +11987262 + 119866120593119866120579(1198724111987222 + 1198724211987221 )) For the sake of claritythe computational complexities of all these methods aresummarized in Table 2 We also compare the complexity ofalgorithmmentioned above versus snapshots (119869) the numberof sensors (119872) and the searching step (Δ120579 = Δ120593 where119866120579 = 90Δ120579119866120593 = 360Δ120593) in Figures 6(a)ndash6(c) respectivelyunder the condition that = (119881 + 1)2
As shown in Figure 6 the improved proposed algo-rithm using Unitary-ESPRIT has the smallest complexityThe proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSIC and PSS has
the larger complexity due to the 2D spectral peak searchThe complexity is huge when the searching step is smallTherefore we introduce the Unitary-ESPRIT to solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs where the searching stepdoes not affect the complexity Compared with the searchingstep the number of snapshots and sensors has the weakerimpact on complexity As a result the improved proposedalgorithm can efficiently reduce the complexity
5 Simulation Results
This section performs the results of simulation experimentscomparing the proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITwith that using 2D-MUSIC and PSS proposed in [14] Tomeasure the accuracy of the algorithms define the root meansquare error (RMSE) as
RMSE = radic 1119876119870119876sum119902=1
10038171003817100381710038171003817120574 minus 119902100381710038171003817100381710038172 (39)
where 119876 represents the number of simulations 120574 and 119902are denoted as the real values and the 119894th estimated valuesrespectively We assume that the impinging signals are BPSKmodulation which are a kind of noncircular signals ofmaximum noncircular rate Moreover we set = (119881 + 1)2Simulation 1 (performance of estimating underdeterminedsignals) Through the analysis of DOF the proposed algo-rithm and improved proposed algorithm can estimate under-determined signals To verify the ability estimating under-determined signals we consider the case of 119870 = 16 witha signal-of-noise (SNR) of 15dB and 119869 = 5000 We set thecoprime planar array as 1198721 = 2 and 1198722 = 3 (119872 = 12) Thedistribution of the estimated values from20 simulations using2D-MUSIC and Unitary-ESPRIT is presented in Figures 7(a)and 7(b) respectively The figure proves that both algorithmscan estimate DOAs of 16 signals which is more than thenumber of sensors
Simulation 2 RMSE comparison of the proposed algorithmimproved proposed algorithm PSS and the URA with thesame number of sensors [22] under different SNRs
Simulations are conducted with 1198721 = 2 1198722 = 3 119876 =100 119869 = 5000 and SNRs from minus5dB to 15dB at 5dB intervalsAnd we set 119870 = 2 Δ120579 = 01∘ and 119870 = 6 Δ120579 = 01∘ TheRMSE results are shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively
The RMSEs of the two proposed algorithms are lowerthan that of URA with the same number of sensors becausethe virtual URA has a bigger array aperture The figuresshow that there are gaps between the RMSE of two proposedalgorithm and that of PSS The virtual URA has the samesize as the coprime planar array but the PSS uses moreinformation Nevertheless the gap is not big when their arrayapertures are same Compared with proposed algorithm theimproved proposed algorithm obtains the similarly preciseestimations with much less complexity Moreover whenapplied tomultiple signals (119870 = 6) both proposed algorithmsmaintain their accuracy but the PSS fails

We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research

two proposed algorithms the smoothing covariance matrixenables us to resolve DOA estimation of maximum 119870 =(119881 + 1)24 minus 1 signals when = (119881 + 1)2 The detailedvalues are presented in Figure 5 The DOF of PSS is limitedby the number of subarray sensors so it is the lowest Theproposed algorithm has much improved the DOF morethan the number of sensors which means it can estimateunderdetermined signals
42 Complexity Analysis We analyze the computationalcomplexity of the proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSICand improved proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITcomparing them with that of PSS in [14]
The complexity of the proposed algorithm is madeup of four parts covariance matrix estimation calculatingsmoothing covariance matrix eigenvalue decompositionand 2D-MUSICThe complexities of these parts are119874(31198691198722)119874(((119881 minus + 1))2) 119874((2)3) and 119874(22(2 minus 119870)119866120593119866120579)respectively where 119866120593 and 119866120579 represent the number of spec-tral points The complexity of improved proposed algorithmalso has four parts which is only different in fourth partUnitary-ESPRIT with 119874((22)3 + 1198703) Therefore the com-putational complexity of proposed algorithm is 119874(31198691198722 +((119881minus+1))2+6+22(2minus119870)119866120593119866120579) and that of improvedproposed algorithm is119874(31198691198722+((119881minus+1))2+96 +1198703)Moreover the complexity of PSS is 119874(119869(11987241 + 11987242) + 11987261 +11987262 + 119866120593119866120579(1198724111987222 + 1198724211987221 )) For the sake of claritythe computational complexities of all these methods aresummarized in Table 2 We also compare the complexity ofalgorithmmentioned above versus snapshots (119869) the numberof sensors (119872) and the searching step (Δ120579 = Δ120593 where119866120579 = 90Δ120579119866120593 = 360Δ120593) in Figures 6(a)ndash6(c) respectivelyunder the condition that = (119881 + 1)2
As shown in Figure 6 the improved proposed algo-rithm using Unitary-ESPRIT has the smallest complexityThe proposed algorithm using 2D-MUSIC and PSS has
the larger complexity due to the 2D spectral peak searchThe complexity is huge when the searching step is smallTherefore we introduce the Unitary-ESPRIT to solve theclosed-form solutions of DOAs where the searching stepdoes not affect the complexity Compared with the searchingstep the number of snapshots and sensors has the weakerimpact on complexity As a result the improved proposedalgorithm can efficiently reduce the complexity
5 Simulation Results
This section performs the results of simulation experimentscomparing the proposed algorithm using Unitary-ESPRITwith that using 2D-MUSIC and PSS proposed in [14] Tomeasure the accuracy of the algorithms define the root meansquare error (RMSE) as
RMSE = radic 1119876119870119876sum119902=1
10038171003817100381710038171003817120574 minus 119902100381710038171003817100381710038172 (39)
where 119876 represents the number of simulations 120574 and 119902are denoted as the real values and the 119894th estimated valuesrespectively We assume that the impinging signals are BPSKmodulation which are a kind of noncircular signals ofmaximum noncircular rate Moreover we set = (119881 + 1)2Simulation 1 (performance of estimating underdeterminedsignals) Through the analysis of DOF the proposed algo-rithm and improved proposed algorithm can estimate under-determined signals To verify the ability estimating under-determined signals we consider the case of 119870 = 16 witha signal-of-noise (SNR) of 15dB and 119869 = 5000 We set thecoprime planar array as 1198721 = 2 and 1198722 = 3 (119872 = 12) Thedistribution of the estimated values from20 simulations using2D-MUSIC and Unitary-ESPRIT is presented in Figures 7(a)and 7(b) respectively The figure proves that both algorithmscan estimate DOAs of 16 signals which is more than thenumber of sensors
Simulation 2 RMSE comparison of the proposed algorithmimproved proposed algorithm PSS and the URA with thesame number of sensors [22] under different SNRs
Simulations are conducted with 1198721 = 2 1198722 = 3 119876 =100 119869 = 5000 and SNRs from minus5dB to 15dB at 5dB intervalsAnd we set 119870 = 2 Δ120579 = 01∘ and 119870 = 6 Δ120579 = 01∘ TheRMSE results are shown in Figures 8 and 9 respectively
The RMSEs of the two proposed algorithms are lowerthan that of URA with the same number of sensors becausethe virtual URA has a bigger array aperture The figuresshow that there are gaps between the RMSE of two proposedalgorithm and that of PSS The virtual URA has the samesize as the coprime planar array but the PSS uses moreinformation Nevertheless the gap is not big when their arrayapertures are same Compared with proposed algorithm theimproved proposed algorithm obtains the similarly preciseestimations with much less complexity Moreover whenapplied tomultiple signals (119870 = 6) both proposed algorithmsmaintain their accuracy but the PSS fails

We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research
6 Conclusions
The paper has proposed a 2D DOA estimation algorithmusing a coprime planar array for noncircular signals whichhas much improved the DOF and reduced the complexityThe paper has described the model and the associated algo-rithms and analyzed the DOF and computational complexityof the proposed algorithms in comparison with that ofexisting algorithms Through the theoretical analysis andsimulation experiments we conclude that the proposedalgorithms can obtain the higher accuracy than theURAwiththe same number of sensors where the proposed algorithmsconstruct a more bigger virtual URA aperture based onthe coprime planar array Compared with DOF of PSS as

Figure 8 RMSE comparison under different SNRs with 119870 = 2 (a) azimuth (b) elevation
We conduct this simulation as Simulation 2 with thecondition that 1198721 = 3 1198722 = 4 and 119870 = 2 The resultsare shown in Figure 11 There are two differences in Figure 11compared with Figure 8 One is that the gaps between theRMSE of URA and those of two proposed algorithms arelarger because the array aperture gap between the virtualURA and URA is bigger with the more number of sensorsThe other is that the gaps between the RMSE of PSS andthose of two proposed algorithms are also larger Given theTable 1 the virtual smoothing URA has the array aperture as(1198721+1198722)times(1198721+1198722)while that of the coprime planar arrayis (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) times (11987211198722 minus 1198721 + 1) When1198721 gt 2 thearray aperture of virtual URA is smaller Hence the RMSEsof two proposed algorithms are higher Moreover this meansthat the proposed algorithms improve the DOF with the lossof array aperture and accuracy And the loss can get biggerwith the increase of 1198721 and this is still true when 1198721 gt 4
How to deal with the balance between the DOF enhancementand accuracy improvement is worthy our further research
6 Conclusions
The paper has proposed a 2D DOA estimation algorithmusing a coprime planar array for noncircular signals whichhas much improved the DOF and reduced the complexityThe paper has described the model and the associated algo-rithms and analyzed the DOF and computational complexityof the proposed algorithms in comparison with that ofexisting algorithms Through the theoretical analysis andsimulation experiments we conclude that the proposedalgorithms can obtain the higher accuracy than theURAwiththe same number of sensors where the proposed algorithmsconstruct a more bigger virtual URA aperture based onthe coprime planar array Compared with DOF of PSS as
