文摘

In this paper, we propose a parallel factor (PARAFAC) analysis based two dimensional direction finding algorithm for coherent signals using a uniformly linear array of vector hydrophones. By forming a PARAFAC model using spatial signature of vector hydrophone array, the new algorithm requires neither spatial smoothing nor vector-field smoothing to decorrelate the signal coherency. We also establish that the azimuth-elevation angles of K coherent signals can be uniquely determined by PARAFAC analysis, as long as the number of hydrophones \(L \ge 2K - 1\). In addition, because the vector hydrophone array manifold contains no phase information, this new algorithm can offer high azimuth-elevation estimation accuracy by setting vector hydrophones to space much farther apart than a half-wavelength. Simulation results are finally presented to verify the efficacy of the proposed algorithm.
