Abstract
In this paper, a localization algorithm for mixed near-field and far-field sources by an interlaced nested array is proposed. The fourth-order cumulants (FOCs) of the received data are used to construct a FOC matrix, by which the angles of all signals can be estimated. Then, an effective method is driven to separate the directions of arrival (DOAs) of near-field and far-field sources without extreme value search. The ranges of the near-field sources can be estimated by one-dimensional (1D) search. Compared with existing nested array-based algorithms, the proposed algorithm can distinguish more sources and has higher estimation accuracy. Some simulation results are shown to certify the superiority of proposed algorithm.
