AbstractsIn this paper, we propose a noncircular-parallel factor (NC-PARAFAC) algorithm for two-dimensional direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of noncircular signals for acoustic vector-sensor array. The proposed algorithm enhances the angle estimation performance via utilizing the noncircularity of the signals, and it can be suitable for arbitrary array subjected to unknown locations and achieve automatically paired two-dimensional angle estimation. The proposed algorithm has better angle estimation performance than estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique, PARAFAC algorithm, and propagator method. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm has a lower computational complexity than the PARAFAC algorithm. We also derive the Crámer-Rao bound of DOA estimation of noncircular signal in acoustic vector-sensor array. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm.
