A sum and difference composite co-array is basically a combination of sum and difference co-arrays. Our configuration can realize higher degrees of freedom (DOF) with the sum co-array part at a calculation cost lower than those of the other sparse arrays. To further enhance the robustness of our proposed sum and difference composite co-array we design an optimal beam pattern by WSF based on the information of estimated DOAs. Performance of the proposed system and the DOA estimation accuracy of close-impinging waves are evaluated through computer simulations.}, pages = {1147--1154}, title = {DOA-Based Weighted Spatial Filter Design for Sum and Difference Composite Co-Array}, volume = {E103.B}, year = {2020} }
