Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new 2-dimensional beamspace matrix pencil (2D BMP) method for direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of plane wave signals using a uniform rectangular array (URA). Based on some a priori information about DOA, the proposed method transforms the complex signal subspace in 2D matrix pencil (2D MP) method [Y. Hua, Estimating two-dimensional frequencies by matrix enhancement and matrix pencil, IEEE Trans. Signal Process. 40 (9) (1992) 2267-2280] into a real and reduced dimensional beamspace using the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) matrix transformation. Consequently, the computational complexity is reduced (several times) in comparison with 2D MP method. Computer simulations are provided to show that 2D BMP method gives comparable performance in terms of average mean square error of the estimated DOA with lesser floating point operations as compared to the existing (MP) methods.
