A symmetric sparse array, termed as the symmetric interantenna spacing constrained array (SISC), is proposed for unambiguous direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation of mixed near-field and far-field source signals. This SISC array is designed from the perspective of assembling four uniform linear subarrays, while balancing the uniform degree of freedom (uDOF) and array sparseness. The SISC array may involve only one closely spaced antenna pair with a spacing of a quarter of the signal wavelength, while synthesizing a contiguous processing aperture with a large uDOF. The minimum interantenna spacing of SISC can also exceed the quarter of the signal wavelength (without a closely spaced antenna pair), if reducing antenna mutual coupling is preferred. Simulation results are provided to verify the superiority of SISC to the current symmetric sparse arrays, in terms of antenna mutual coupling, uDOF, processing aperture, and DOA estimation accuracy.
