In this letter, an extended virtual array based on sum-difference
co-array (SDC) of parallel sparse array (PSA) is derived, which have
more Degrees-of-freedoms (DOFs) than the conventional virtual array only
based on difference co-array (DC), for two-dimensional (2-D) direction
of arrival (DOA) estimation of non-circular (NC) signal. Specifically,
be placing two subarrays symmetrically with the coordinate axis, the
com-plex joint three-dimensional (3-D) problem of 2-D DOA and
one-dimensional (1-D) NC phase is simplified to two 1-D problems, which
greatly reduces the computational complexity and improves the accuracy
of results. At end, the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed
algorithm are validated by numerical simulations.
