In light of this, we propose a low-rank matrix completion algorithm via minimization of the ratio of the nuclear norm and the Frobenius norm (N\/F) to solve the two-dimensional (2D) direction finding problem for the L-shaped coprime array (LsCA). Specifically, we first interpolate the virtual co-array signal related to the cross-correlation matrix (CCM) and utilize the interpolated virtual signal for Toeplitz matrix reconstruction. Then, the N\/F method is employed to perform low-rank matrix completion on the reconstructed matrix. Finally, exploiting the conjugate symmetry characteristics of the completed matrix, we further develop a direction-finding algorithm that enables 2D angle estimation. Remarkably, the 2D angles are able to be automatically paired by the proposed algorithm. Numerical simulation findings demonstrate that the proposed N\/F algorithm generates excellent angular resolution and computational complexity. Furthermore, this algorithm yields better estimation accuracy compared to the competing algorithms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs16183543","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,24]],"date-time":"2024-09-24T03:49:46Z","timestamp":1727149786000},"page":"3543","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Two-Dimensional Direction Finding for L-Shaped Coprime Array via Minimization of the Ratio of the Nuclear Norm and the Frobenius Norm"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6126-331X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lang","family":"Zhou","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6190-6795","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kun","family":"Ye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Informatics, Xiamen University, Xiamen 361005, China"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5164-754X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Xuebo","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Physics and Electronic Engineering, Northwest Normal University, Lanzhou 730070, China"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,9,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"67","DOI":"10.1109\/79.526899","article-title":"Two decades of array signal processing research: The parametric approach","volume":"13","author":"Krim","year":"1996","journal-title":"IEEE Signal Process.
