双插值拟合的共形电磁矢量传感器阵列解相干

共形电磁矢量传感器阵列依附在共形载体的几何表面上, 具有很高的分布自由度。但是不同传感器回波的极化矢量随着所依附的共形载体法线指向的变化而变化, 导致无法直接用平滑类算法解决相干信号的参数估计问题。本文创造性地利用双插值拟合思想, 将子阵列虚拟平移后得到一个同极化分量的插值子阵列, 然后对插值子阵列进行极化平滑估计目标参数。同时, 为了降低插值拟合误差对插值子阵列数据的影响, 提出了一种双插值拟合方法实现了回波解相干并有效估计了信号的二维角度和二维极化角。最后,数值结果分析了双插值拟合误差和解相干性能。     

Direction and polarization estimation for coherent sources using vector sensors

A two-dimensional direction-of-arrival (DOA) and polarization estimation algorithm for coherent sources using a linear vector-sensor array is presented. Two matrices are first constructed by the receiving data. The ranks of the two matrices are only related to the DOAs of the sources and independent of their coherency. Then the source’s elevation is resolved via the matrix pencil (MP) method, and the singular value decomposition (SVD) is used to reduce the noise effect. Finally, the source’s steering vector is estimated, and the analytics solutions of the source’s azimuth and polarization parameter can be directly computed by using a vector cross-product estimator. Moreover, the proposed algorithm can achieve the unambiguous direction estimates, even if the space between adjacent sensors is larger than a half-wavelength. Theoretical and numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

针对共形天线阵列流形的多极化特点,建立了锥面共形阵列天线导向矢量的数据模型。通过合理的阵元排列结构设计,推导了锥面共形阵列天线信源解相干的空间平滑算法,解决了ESPRIT(estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance technique)算法多信源方位估计的参数配对问题,最终给出了锥面共形阵列天线相干信源盲极化波达方向(direction of arrival, DOA)估计算法。该算法利用锥面共形载体的单曲率特性,结合ESPRIT算法参数估计的特点,在盲极化条件下实现了相干信源的高分辨DOA估计。Monte Carlo仿真实验验证了算法的有效性。     

基于四阶累积量和时间平滑的相干信号DOA估计

高斯色噪声背景下,针对多径环境下的多用户波达方向（direction of arrival, DOA）估计问题,提出一种联合处理算法。新算法首先利用四阶累积量估计出各个用户的空间特征,然后利用基于时间平滑的多重信号分类 (multiple signal classification,MUSIC)算法实现各用户多径信号的DOA估计。该算法突破了传统空间平滑类算法的局限,对于M元均匀线阵,新算法最多可估计M×(M－1)个DOA,且各DOA与各用户可自动实现配对。计算机仿真结果验证了算法的有效性。
