Abstract

Although the original ideas of nested arrays go back over ten years, it has been only within the past few years that these ideas have matured. During the same period, several new operators and functions have been proposed. This paper describes an experimental research implementation of these proposals. Details of some of the proposals are also described.

Super nested arrays: Sparse arrays with less mutual coupling than nested arrays
2016 IEEE International Conference on Acoustics, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP)
In array processing, mutual coupling between sensors has an adverse effect on the estimation of parameters (e.g., DOA). Sparse arrays, such as nested arrays, coprime arrays, and minimum redundancy arrays (MRAs), have reduced mutual coupling compared to ...
Operators in an APL containing nested arrays

Formal definitions of several functions and operators for manipulating nested arrays are presented. Three operators that control the application of a function to the items or groups of items of an array are defined. In addition, the definition of ...
