摘要

This paper deals with the problem of tracking the two-dimensional (2-D) direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) of multiple moving targets with crossover points on their trajectories, and we propose a new computationally efficient cross-correlation based 2-D DOA estimation with automatic pair-matching (CODEC) method for noncoherent narrowband signals impinging on the L-shaped sensor array structured by two uniform linear arrays (ULAs) with omnidirectional sensors. The effectiveness of the proposed method and the theoretical analysis are substantiated through numerical examples.
