In this paper, we present an algorithm based on the matrix completion theory in coprime planar array that reduces the computational complexity and obtains a high degree of freedom. The algorithm first analyzes the covariance matrix of received signals to estimate the covariance matrix of a virtual uniform rectangular array, which has the same aperture as the coprime planar array. Matrix completion theory is then applied to estimate the missing elements of the virtual array covariance matrix. Finally, a closed-form DOA solution is obtained using the unitary estimation signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (Unitary-ESPRIT). Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has a high degree of freedom, enabling the estimation of more signal DOAs than the number of sensors. The proposed algorithm has reduced computational complexity because the spectral peak search is replaced by Unitary-ESPRIT, but attains similarly high levels accuracy to those of the 2D multiple signal classification algorithm.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s18061741","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,29]],"date-time":"2018-05-29T02:58:18Z","timestamp":1527562698000},"page":"1741","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Two-Dimensional Direction-of-Arrival Fast Estimation of Multiple Signals with Matrix Completion Theory in Coprime Planar Array"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8630-9049","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Haiyun","family":"Xu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"National Digital System Engineering and Technological Research R&amp;D Center, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6896-4242","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yankui","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Digital System Engineering and Technological Research R&amp;D Center, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bin","family":"Ba","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Digital System Engineering and Technological Research R&amp;D Center, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Daming","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Digital System Engineering and Technological Research R&amp;D Center, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiangzhi","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"National Digital System Engineering and Technological Research R&amp;D Center, Zhengzhou 450001, China"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,5,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"607","article-title":"Super-Resolution Reconstruction of Radar Tomographic Image Based on Image Decomposition","volume":"11","author":"Wei","year":"2013","journal-title":"IEEE Geosci.
