A Novel Sparse Array for Localization of Mixed Near-Field and Far-Field Sources by Yinsheng Wang, WeiJia Cui, Yuxi Du, Bin Ba, Fengtong Mei

“…As we all know, nested array can obtain a larger array aperture and more degrees of freedom using fewer sensors. In this study, we not only designed an enhanced symmetric nested array (ESNA), which achieved more consecutive lags and more unique lags compared with a generalized nested array but also developed a special cumulant matrix, in the case of a given number of sensors, which can automatically generate the largest consecutive lags of the array. …”
