Abstract

The canonical polyadic decomposition (CPD) of higher-order tensors, a.k.a. PARAFAC, has shown excellent performance in two-dimensional direction of arrival (DOA) estimation using the acoustic vector sensor array (AVSA). However, most existing studies pay little attention to the manifold matrix structure of the AVSA during the CPD and are designed for uncorrelated sources. This paper presents a constrained CPD-based algorithm for DOA estimation using a uniform linear AVSA, whose manifold matrix is highly structured. Specifically, the manifold matrix equals to the Khatri-Rao product of a Vandermonde matrix and a proportional column-norm matrix. We show that DOA estimation accuracy is further improved by incorporating the prior structured information. Besides, we also extend the Toeplitz decorrelation technique to the AVSA to handle possibly correlated sources. The algorithm does not require iteration or peak searching and thus is computationally effective. Numerical simulations verify the effectiveness and superior performance of the algorithm.
