“…On the general topic of estimation in signal processing, Zoubir et al [23] presented a tutorial which includes valuable information on DoA estimation, but does not describe specific array geometries. There are also less related comparison studies by Kiani and Pezeshk [24], Khedekar and Mukhopadhyay [25], Ahmed et al [26], Adhikari and Drozdenko [27], and reviews in other areas related to DoA estimation [28,29].…”

arrays are fundamental to localization applications. Specifically spares arrays can provide superior direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation performance with limited number of sensors. There has been increased interest in the research community in designing 2D sparse arrays with performance improvement and complexity reduction. The research efforts are uncoordinated resulting in some repetitions and sometimes conflicting claims. After introducing 2D sparse arrays and their importance, this paper establishes the 2D-DoA estimation model and consolidates the performance metrics. An extensive literature overview of sparse arrays for 2D-DoA estimation is presented with an attempt to categorize existing works. The examined arrays include parallel arrays, L-shaped, V-shaped, hourglass, thermos, nested planer, and coprime planner, to name a few. Existing designs are compared in terms of required number of sensors, degrees of freedom (DOF), algorithm used, associated complexity and aperture size. The focus is on describing the sparse arrays, yet some specific details on DoA estimation algorithms are provided for selected array geometries. Fundamental problems of 2D-DoA estimation are outlined and existing solutions to alleviate these problems are discussed. This should be useful in predicting the estimation performance and required complexity; thus, aiding the decision of selecting a sensor geometry for DoA estimation. This review serves as a starting point for researchers interested in exploring or designing new 2D sparse arrays. It also helps to identify the gaps in the field and avoids unnecessary minor design modifications.
