contents In this letter, we propose a new wireless sensing system equipped with a rotatable antenna (RA) array to enhance the sensing performance of a uniform sparse array (USA). To tackle the severe spatial undersampling issues, we propose a novel tensor decomposition-based direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm. Specifically, we introduce a synchronous multiple rotation pattern for active target probing such that the received signals across multiple rotations to capture the diverse spatial degree of freedoms. Subsequently, we mathematically formulate the received signals across successive rotations as a third-order tensor, and leverage the canonical polyadic decomposition to obtain the factor matrices incorporating the DOA of targets. By analyzing the extrema distribution laws of array steering vector correlation (SVC) and gain SVC of RAs, we propose to combine the array and gain factor matrices via the Kronecker product, which theoretically guarantees the unambiguous DOA estimation. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed RA-enhanced tensor decomposition-based algorithm achieves high-precision and unambiguous sensing performance compared to conventional uniform dense arrays and omnidirectional antenna systems.
