The concept of difference and sum co-array (DSCA) has become a new design idea for planar sparse arrays.Inspired by the shifting invariance property of DSCA,a specific configuration named here as the improved L-shaped array is proposed.Compared to other traditional 2D sparse array configurations such as 2D nested arrays and hourglass arrays,the proposed configuration has larger central consecutive ranges in its DSCA,thus increasing the DOF.At the same time,the mutual coupling effect is also reduced due to the enlarged spacing between the adjacent sensors.Simulations further demonstrate the superiority of the proposed arrays in terms of detection performance and estimation accuracy.
