文摘The small autonomous platform with a thin line array is an important tool for underwater acoustic mobile surveillance.Generally,only one-dimensional(1-D)direction-of-arrival(DOA)of the source signal can be estimated using a thin towed line array.In this work,the two-dimensional(2-D)DOA estimation is achieved by the thin line array towed by a small autonomous platform due to its flexible maneuver.Two perpendicular tow paths are formed through the fast turning of this array.An L-shaped array is formed by the same towed array on these two tow paths at different times.Using the array on these two straight paths,two 1-D DOAs of the source signal are obtained respectively,and then the 2-D DOA based on the formed L-shaped array can be estimated.The effectiveness of proposed approach is verified by numerical simulations and its theoretical error is analyzed.
