与均匀阵列相比，稀疏阵列设计使用较少的传感器即可实现相当的性能。与结构化阵列（如互质阵和嵌套阵）不同，可实现最佳性能标准（如最大信干比）的稀疏阵列设计是与环境相关的，它们的配置及波束形成系数权重随视野而变化。在本报告中，我们将从coarray的角度研究稀疏阵列的最大可扩展性，即最大化空间自相关延迟的数量。讨论了用于测向的主、被动稀疏阵列性能。然后将上述配置与稀疏阵列进行对比，在干扰环境中针对窄带和宽带干扰源均可实现最大化SINR。本报告还考虑了单点及多点干扰源，阵列孔径尺寸受限与不受限情况下的最佳性能分析。针对前者，我们引入了混合设计方法，在保证波束形成性能最优的前提下，设计一种完全可扩展的阵列。

Sparse array design can potentially achieve comparable performance over uniform array counterparts with a fewer sensors. Unlike structured arrays, such as coprime and nested arrays, sparse arrays designed to achieve optimum performance criterion, like maximum signal-to-interference plus noise ratio (MaxSINR), are environmental-dependent and their configurations as well as their beamformer weights change with the underlying field of view. In this tutorial, we review sparse arrays from the coarray perspective that strives for full augumentability, i.e.,maximizing the number of spatial autocorrelation lags. In this respect, we discuss sparse array performance for direction finding and also address the passive and active arrays. We then contrast these configurations with sparse arrays that achieve MaxSINR for both narrowband and wideband sources operating in an interference-active environment. The tutorial also considers both single point source and multiple point sources. We cover the two important cases where the array aperture size is constrained and unconstrained, and demonstrate optimum performance in both cases. For the former, and with a limited aperture, we introduce a hybrid design that seeks a full augumentable array which at the same time optimizes beamformer performance. The problem is formulated as quadratically constraint quadratic program, with the cost function penalized with weighted l1-norm squared of the beamformer weight vector. The wideband problem is tackled by two different approaches, one includes a delay line filter implementation and the other one is the DFT approach.
