Popis: Abstract Compared with the uniform linear array (ULA) under the same physical array element, the coprime array can obtain a higher degree of freedom and a larger array aperture, so it has received extensive attention from scholars in recent years. Based on the idea of interference plus noise covariance matrix (INCM) reconstruction, this study proposed a robust adaptive beamforming algorithm using the coprime array. In the virtual array generated by the coprime array, the authors prove from the perspective of virtual signals that the constructed Toeplitz matrix is equivalent to a virtual ULA with more array elements. Subsequently, a high‐resolution subspace algorithm is used to estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signals, and the estimated DOA is used to reconstruct the direction vector (DV) of the coprime array. Through the eigenvalue decomposition of the reconstructed Toeplitz matrix, the corresponding relationship between the eigenvalue and the power is deduced, and the signals and noise power are estimated using the eigenvalue. Finally, combine the DV of the desired signal and the reconstructed INCM to calculate the weight vector of the proposed algorithm. The simulation results prove the superiority and effectiveness of the algorithm.
