Description

Area array two-dimensional direction of arrival estimation method based on subspace reconstruction
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of radars, and further relates to a planar array two-dimensional direction of arrival estimation method which can be used for accurately estimating target parameters.
Background
DOA estimation is an important technology in array signal processing, and is widely applied to the fields of radar detection, communication positioning, modern medicine and the like. When DOA estimation is carried out, because a target is positioned in a three-dimensional space, the azimuth angle and the pitch angle information of the target cannot be provided simultaneously by one-dimensional DOA estimation, and therefore a two-dimensional DOA estimation method needs to be researched. The current effective two-dimensional DOA estimation method designs an algorithm based on special arrays such as an L-shaped array and a cross-shaped array, and the two-dimensional DOA estimation algorithm based on an area array better meets the requirement of signal processing in reality, so that the method has research value.
A paper published by Tankdong, Tang and mountain in China, "two-dimensional DOA estimation algorithm based on propagation operators in an area array" (computer engineering and application, 2017,53(22):35-39) provides a two-dimensional DOA estimation method based on PM, a new data matrix is constructed by utilizing a cross-correlation matrix of sub-area array received data, a rotation invariant relation matrix is obtained by utilizing the PM algorithm for DOA estimation, and the operation amount is effectively reduced. The paper published by Shuangming, Wu Xiaoqiang, Zhang is based on the two-dimensional DOA estimation of the modified ESPRIT algorithm (university of Harbin, 2008,29(4): 407) and 410), and the subarray is merged and solved based on the principle that the ESPRIT algorithm solves the two-dimensional DOA, so that the covariance matrix does not contain redundant data any more, the dimensionality during characteristic value decomposition is effectively reduced, and the calculated amount is reduced. But the disadvantage of the above algorithm is that the estimation accuracy is not ideal.
Jiangzhi, Zhaoxiaofei, Zhang Qin in its published paper "two-dimensional DOA estimation of dimension-reducing Capon in area array" (applied scientific bulletin, 2015,44(6):48-52) proposes a dimension-reducing Capon algorithm suitable for area array, uses one-dimensional global search to realize two-dimensional DOA joint estimation, realizes automatic pairing of two-dimensional angles, improves the precision of parameter estimation, has performance close to that of the two-dimensional Capon algorithm, but has the defects that global search cannot be avoided, the calculated amount is large, and does not meet the requirement of real-time signal processing.
In summary, the existing two-dimensional DOA estimation technology for an area array cannot improve the estimation accuracy while effectively reducing the calculation amount.

assuming that there are 3 narrowband sources incident on the array from the far field, the source positions are (20, 30), (30, 40), (40, 40), respectively. The search step size when performing the gradient search is 0.01 °, the fast beat number is 128, the signal-to-noise ratio is 2dB, and the source position is estimated by performing the monte carlo experiment 1000 times by using the present invention, and the result is shown in fig. 3, where fig. 3(a) is a dispersion plot of the estimated direction of arrival at the source position (20 °,30 °), fig. 3(b) is a dispersion plot of the estimated direction of arrival at the source position (30 °,40 °), and fig. 3(c) is a dispersion plot of the estimated direction of arrival at the source position (40 ° ). As can be seen from fig. 3, the estimates of the 3 source positions are substantially maintained near their true values, and the fluctuation is small, which shows that the present invention can implement two-dimensional direction-of-arrival estimation of the source positions.

The results are shown in fig. 4, where the signal to noise ratio in fig. 4 is from-5 dB to 5 dB. As can be seen from FIG. 4, as the signal-to-noise ratio increases, the root mean square error decreases, and the precision of the final result obtained by the method after the fine search of the information source position is greatly improved relative to the rough estimation result, which approaches the estimation performance of the existing 2D-MUSIC method.

The invention and the existing 2D-MUSIC method are respectively used for carrying out Monte Carlo experiments of 1000 searches with the step length of 0.01 degrees and the signal-to-noise ratio of 2dB, and the root mean square error of the method of the invention under different fast beat number conditions is compared with the root mean square error of the existing 2D-MUSIC method and the information source position rough estimation method. The result is shown in fig. 5, where the number of beats in fig. 5 is from 64 to 512. As can be seen from FIG. 5, as the fast beat number increases, the root mean square error decreases, and the accuracy of the final result after the fine search of the information source position is greatly improved relative to the coarse estimation result, which is basically equivalent to the estimation performance of the existing 2D-MUSIC method.
