Abstract

A dual-hole coprime array antenna structure is composed of four sparse subarrays, the total number of array elements is T, and the number of antennas are N and M respectively, wherein N and M are coprime integers, and M<N. The position of the array elements in the CATHDC antenna structure is where d≤λ / 2 is the unit array element spacing, and λ is the carrier wavelength. The antenna structure of the present invention expands the antenna aperture and weakens the mutual coupling effect. The antenna array layout is simple and can Gain more degrees of freedom than existing coprime arrays. The virtual array generated by CATHDC is a uniform array with unit element spacing, and the classical signal angle of arrival estimation algorithm combined with the spatial smoothing method can be directly applied without angle ambiguity.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of array antenna layout, and in particular relates to a dual-hole coprime array antenna structure. Background technique [0002] The traditional antenna layout is limited by the half-wavelength, that is, the distance between the array elements is smaller than half-wavelength. Therefore, when the number of antennas is fixed, the aperture of the antenna is limited. At the same time, small array elements will also lead to a strong mutual coupling effect between antenna elements. In addition, the number of targets that can be identified by traditional DOA estimation algorithms is limited by the number of antenna elements in the physical array, that is, degrees of freedom. When the number of targets exceeds the number of antenna elements, many algorithms will fail. [0003] At present, a kind of antenna structure layout called coprime array has received extensive attention. Its element spacing breaks through the half-wav...
