In this paper, we consider the source localization for a mixed near-field (NF) and far-field (FF) narrowband signals impinging on a uniform linear array (ULA) with the symmetrical geometric configuration. A computationally efficient direction-of-arrivals (DOAs) and range estimation method for the mixed NF and FF signals is proposed, where the DOAs of the NF and FF signals are estimated separately, and the computationally burdensome eigendecomposition is avoided.
