In this paper, we concentrate on the beamspace DOA estimation of linear array via atomic norm minimization (ANM). The existed generalized linear spectrum estimation based ANM approaches suffer from the high computational complexity for large scale array, since their complexity depends upon the number of sensors. To deal with this problem, we develop a low dimensional semidefinite programming (SDP) implementation of beamspace atomic norm minimization (BS-ANM) approach for DFT beamspace based on the super resolution theory on the semi-algebraic set. Then, a computational efficient iteration algorithm is proposed based on alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM) approach. We develop the covariance based DOA estimation methods via BS-ANM and apply the BS-ANM based DOA estimation method to the channel estimation problem for massive MIMO systems. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed methods exhibit the superior performance compared to the state-of-the-art counterparts.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s20082222","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,15]],"date-time":"2020-04-15T09:19:50Z","timestamp":1586942390000},"page":"2222","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Low Complexity Beamspace Super Resolution for DOA Estimation of Linear Array"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"20","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8668-4938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jie","family":"Pan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fu","family":"Jiang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Information Engineering, Yangzhou University, Yangzhou 225009, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Zhao, H., Zhang, L., and Shen, Y.
