DOA Estimation for Generalized Three Dimensional Coprime Arrays: A Fast-Convergence Quadrilinear Decomposition Algorithm

In this paper, we construct the generalized 3-D coprime array (G-TDCA) configuration, which consists of two 2-D uniform subarrays, by selecting three pairs of coprime integers to obtain the extension of inter-element spacing.Meanwhile, we derive the analytical expression of Cramer-Rao bound for G-TDCA and zuca pro artist verify that G-TDCA outperfo
