Abstract

The present disclosure discloses a three-dimensional co-prime cubic array direction-of-arrival estimation method based on a cross-correlation tensor, mainly solving the problems of multi-dimensional signal structured information loss and Nyquist mismatch in existing methods and comprising the following implementing steps: constructing a three-dimensional co-prime cubic array; carrying out tensor modeling on a receiving signal of the three-dimensional co-prime cubic array; calculating six-dimensional second-order cross-correlation tensor statistics; deducing a three-dimensional virtual uniform cubic array equivalent signal tensor based on cross-correlation tensor dimension merging transformation; constructing a four-dimensional virtual domain signal tensor based on mirror image augmentation of the three-dimensional virtual uniform cubic array; constructing a signal and noise subspace in a Kronecker product form through virtual domain signal tensor decomposition; and acquiring a direction-of-arrival estimation result based on three-dimensional spatial spectrum search.
