Direction-of-arrival (DOA), power, and achievable degrees-of-freedom (DOFs) are fundamental parameters for source estimation. In this paper, we propose a novel sparse reconstruction-based source estimation algorithm by using a coprime array. Specifically, a difference coarray is derived from a coprime array as the foundation for increasing the number of DOFs, and a virtual uniform linear subarray covariance matrix sparse reconstruction-based optimization problem is formulated for DOA estimation. Meanwhile, a modified sliding window scheme is devised to remove the spurious peaks from the reconstructed sparse spatial spectrum, and the power estimation is enhanced through a least squares problem. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in terms of DOA estimation and power estimation as well as the achievable DOFs.
