Disclosed is a high-resolution accurate two-dimensional direction-of-arrival estimation method based on coarray tensor spatial spectrum searching with coprime planar array, which solves the problem of multi-dimensional signal loss and limited spatial spectrum resolution and accuracy in existing methods. The implementation steps are: constructing a coprime planar array; tensor signal modeling for the coprime planar array; deriving coarray statistics based on coprime planar array cross-correlation tensor; constructing the equivalent signals of a virtual uniform array; deriving a spatially smoothed fourth-order auto-correlation coarray tensor; realizing signal and noise subspace classification through coarray tensor feature extraction; performing high-resolution accurate two-dimensional direction-of-arrival estimation based on coarray tensor spatial spectrum searching. In the present method, multi-dimensional feature extraction based on coarray tensor statistics for coprime planar array is used to implement high-resolution, accurate two-dimensional direction-of-arrival estimation based on tensor spatial spectrum searching, and the method can be used for passive detection and target positioning.

A multi-band software defined antenna array tile including a set of pairs of frequency converters associated with a respective coupled dipole array antenna element and comprising a principal polarization converter for applying an oscillating signal to a first partial beam-formed data stream to generate an oscillating partial beam-formed data stream, where the oscillating signal is associated with an oscillating signal frequency received from a memory operatively connected to a system controller. The principal polarization converter applies a three-stage halfband filter to the first oscillating partial beam-formed data stream to generate a filtered partial beam-formed data stream, applies time delay to the filtered partial beam-formed data stream to generate a first partial beam and transmits a partial beam along with other partial beams to a digital software system interface through a data transport bus.
