Abstract

An effective sparse array extension method for maximizing the number of consecutive lags in the fourth-order difference co-array is proposed, leading to a novel enhanced sparse array structure based on co-prime arrays (CPAs) with significantly increased number of degrees of freedom (DOFs). One method to exploit the increased DOFs based on nonstationary signals is also proposed, with simulation results provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed structure.
