单快拍数据预处理的相干信号波达方向估计

针对已有的相干信号单次快拍波达方向(direction-of-arrival,DOA)估计算法需要限定入射信号类型或者通过损失部分阵列孔径来放宽限定条件的问题,提出一种新的单快拍解相干算法.算法首先对接收的单次快拍数据做互相关预处理,利用预处理所得的数据重构等效协方差矩阵,再基于多重信号分类法(multiple signal classification,MUSIC)或信号参数估计的旋转不变子空间技术(estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques,ESPRIT)完成相干信号DOA估计.算法在不损失阵列孔径的同时,无需限定入射信号类型.进一步的快拍数叠加试验表明,在低信噪比条件下,通过随机快拍数据叠加,算法性能较已有算法更好.计算机仿真结果验证了算法的有效性.     

Focusing transform-based direction-of-arrival method exploiting multi-cycle frequencies

When single cycle frequency is employed, the existing spectral correlation-signal subspace fitting (SC-SSF) algorithms usually contain two disadvantages: those single-cycle estimators cannot reach the best performance; it is inconvenient to be applied in practice since the right cycle frequency has to be selected. Based on the Jacobi-Anger expansion and the idea of focusing transform, a new approach exploiting multi-cycle frequencies of cyclostationary signal is discussed in this paper. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the new method.     

基于联合子带ANM的小快拍宽带DOA估计方法

针对被动探测系统中,经典宽带信号波达方位(direction-of-arrival, DOA)估计方法在小快拍条件下无法直接有效地进行方位估计的问题,提出了一种基于联合子带最小原子范数(atomic norm minimization, ANM)的小快拍宽带信号方位估计方法。该方法首先将宽带信号划分的各子带聚焦到参考频点,再联合聚焦后的子带进行数据矩阵重构,最后通过ANM半正定规划优化,构造并恢复出一个最优的Toeplitz矩阵。该Toeplitz矩阵经过特征分解,能获得准确的信号子空间,从而实现有效的DOA估计。仿真结果表明,本文所提的方位估计方法在小快拍条件下具有良好的DOA估计性能,且能够估计相干源目标。     

未知相关噪声下的广义波达方向估计算法

针对未知相关噪声情况下信源波达方向的估计,提出一种适用于均匀线阵的广义波达方向估计算法。该算法利用修正后的协方差差分算法,有效地消除了阵元间的相关噪声的影响。不同于以前的算法,提出的算法通过对接收数据的前后向空间平滑协方差矩阵进行共轭运算得到新的变换矩阵,因此修正后的协方差差分矩阵是个实部为零的厄米特矩阵,从而有效地降低了特征分解过程的计算量。本算法能解决相关噪声下,同时分辨相干与非相干信源的问题。理论分析和仿真结果均表明所提算法的有效性。

Underdetermined DOA estimation and blind separation of non-disjoint sources in time-frequency domain based on sparse representation method

This paper deals with the blind separation of nonstation-ary sources and direction-of-arrival （DOA） estimation in the under-determined case, when there are more sources than sensors. We assume the sources to be time-frequency （TF） disjoint to a certain extent. In particular, the number of sources presented at any TF neighborhood is strictly less than that of sensors. We can identify the real number of active sources and achieve separation in any TF neighborhood by the sparse representation method. Compared with the subspace-based algorithm under the same sparseness assumption, which suffers from the extra noise effect since it can-not estimate the true number of active sources, the proposed algorithm can estimate the number of active sources and their cor-responding TF values in any TF neighborhood simultaneously. An-other contribution of this paper is a new estimation procedure for the DOA of sources in the underdetermined case, which combines the TF sparseness of sources and the clustering technique. Sim-ulation results demonstrate the validity and high performance of the proposed algorithm in both blind source separation （BSS） and DOA estimation.     

Polynomial-rooting based fourth-order MUSIC for direction-of-arrival estimation of noncircular signals

A polynomial-rooting based fourth-order cumulant algorithm is presented for direction-of-arrival（DOA） estimation of second-order fully noncircular source signals, using a uniform linear array（ULA）. This algorithm inherits all merits of its spectralsearching counterpart except for the applicability to arbitrary array geometry, while reducing considerably the computation cost.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms the previously developed closed-form second-order noncircular ESPRIT method, in terms of processing capacity and DOA estimation accuracy, especially in the presence of spatially colored noise.     

基于协方差矩阵重构的单基地MIMO阵列无网格DOA估计方法

提出了一种单基地多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output, MIMO)阵列中的协方差矩阵重构的无网格波达方向(direction-of-arrival, DOA)估计方法。该方法通过降维处理将MIMO阵列等效为信噪比(signal-to-noise ratio, SNR)提升的均匀线列阵,将目标方位估计问题转化为混合范数最小化(mixed norm minimization, MixNM)稀疏信号重构问题。进一步给出了与该稀疏重构问题等价的基于网格的凸优化问题,并模型化为半定规划来求解。为了解决网格大小影响估计性能的问题,利用了等价均匀线列阵的托普利兹结构,模型化为半定规划问题来重构无噪声协方差矩阵,最后通过范德蒙分解来估计目标方位。与传统的基于MixNM方位估计方法相比,该方法减少了优化变量个数。与其他离网格方法相比,该方法估计精度不受网格大小的影响,且能够估计相干源目标。实验仿真验证了该方法的有效性。
