Sparse linear arrays (SLAs), such as nested and co-prime arrays, have the attractive capability of providing enhanced degrees of freedom by exploiting the co-array model. Accordingly, co-array-based Direction of Arrivals (DoAs) estimation has recently gained considerable interest in array processing. The literature has suggested applying MUSIC on an augmented sample covariance matrix for co-array-based DoAs estimation. In this paper, we propose a Least Squares (LS) estimator for co-array-based DoAs estimation employing the covariance fitting method as an alternative to MUSIC. We show that the proposed LS estimator provides consistent estimates of DoAs of identifiable sources for SLAs. Additionally, an analytical expression for the large sample performance of the proposed estimator is derived. Numerical results illustrate the finite sample behavior in relation to the derived analytical expression. Moreover, the performance of the proposed LS estimator is compared to the co-array-based MUSIC. [less ▲]

Herein, we investigate the interference received from other wireless networks into a satellite communication (SATCOM) link, and review approaches to identify the interference location using on-board satellite processing. Interference is an increasing problem for satellite communication links, and while receiving signals from gateways or user terminals, the uplink is prone to disturbance by interference due to jammers or unintentional transmissions. In this paper, our aim is to localize unknown interference sources present on the ground by estimating direction of arrival (DOA) information using onboard processing (OBP) in the satellite, and the satellite drift inducing a virtual array. In this work, the signal sampled by the drifting single antenna feed is modeled as using an arbitrary array. Building on this model, we perform the 2-D DOA (azimuth and elevation) estimation. The key challenges in such a design include single snapshot based DOA estimation with low complexity and robustness, arising out of limited on-board computational complexity as well as uncertainty in parameters like the drift speed. Employing realistic satellite drift patterns, the paper illustrates the performance of the proposed technique highlighting the accuracy in localization under adverse environments. We provide numerical simulations to show the effectiveness of our methodology. [less ▲]
