Abstract

This work aims to study the source localization problem using a symmetric array in a near-field environment. To reduce the computational complexity, in this work, two spatial correlation signals are created in which each signal only depends on one parameter of direction of arrival (DOA) or range. In the development process, the each resulting signal still possesses the array spatial structure, and therefore, the atomic norm minimization is utilized to obtain the corresponding solutions. The utilization of atomic norm also allows one to avoid the off-grid problem when the sparse reconstruction concept is employed. The numerical studies demonstrate the proposed method provides a superior performance compared with other approaches.
