description To fulfill the demand for high-precision underwater acoustic positioning at full sea depth, an ultra-short baseline (USBL) positioning method with the square array based on the least squares estimating signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques (LS-ESPRIT) algorithm is presented in this paper. A combination of beam tracking and beamforming is employed to improve the accuracy of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation and, consequently, enhance overall positioning accuracy. In order to mitigate the issue of position jumping resulting from phase ambiguity in traditional four-element cross arrays, we have improved the stability of the positioning algorithm by utilizing a multi-element square array and employing the LS-ESPRIT algorithm for DOA estimation. Furthermore, the signal detection method integrating the correlation coefficient and ascending/descending chirp signals is employed to enhance the reliability of the location algorithm. Simulation analysis and experimental results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively enhances positioning accuracy and improves the problem of jumping in positioning results.
