1/2以下にとらなければならないという制約がある。(Background Art) A signal incidence angle measurement device that uses an array consisting of two elements and estimates the signal incidence angle with respect to a reference axis on the array by estimating the phase difference between the blade signals of the two elements of the array. is widely used in sonar, acoustic positioning equipment or radar. As is well known, when the received signal is a narrowband signal, in order to avoid the ambiguity caused by the gloating lobe in estimating the signal incidence angle, the array spacing of the array can be set to the narrowband signal. There is a restriction that the wavelength must be less than 1/2 of the wavelength of .

As shown, it is inversely proportional to the length of the arrangement interval of the elements. For these reasons, conventionally, taking both of the above into account, the spacing between the two elements of the array is set to 1/2 of the signal wavelength, or each element of the array is given directivity. By limiting the viewing angle, the ambiguity caused by side lobes can be eliminated, thereby reducing the array spacing of the elements to 1.
Over 72 methods have been used.

。Therefore, in such conventional methods, if you want to widen the viewing angle of the array for estimating the signal incidence angle, it is difficult to set the array spacing of the elements to 1/2 or less of the signal wavelength. If the signal-to-noise ratio of the received signal becomes low (as a result, sufficient accuracy cannot be obtained), and if the arrangement interval of the array elements is set to 1/2 or more of the signal wavelength, the viewing angle of the array becomes ] It has the disadvantage of being subject to a contract.

方式。(2) In a signal incidence angle measurement device that determines the angle of incidence of an incident signal from the phase difference between the output signals of a plurality of elements arranged in space, first and second A first array element consisting of two second elements, and third and fourth array elements arranged on a straight line parallel to the array of the first array element with an interval of 1/2 or more of the signal wavelength. an estimated value (?l) of the phase difference between the two output signals of the first array element and an estimation of the phase difference between the two output signals of the second array element. value (φ2), and calculate a sparse estimate of the delay time difference between the output signal of the third element and the output signal of the first element from the estimated value of each phase difference and the arrangement interval of each element, and A predicted value of the delay time difference is obtained by calculating the sum of the time-converted value of the phase difference of the element and an integral multiple of the period of the center frequency of the signal, and the prediction error is the distance of the predicted value to the sparse estimated value. is determined, the integer value that minimizes the prediction error is determined, and the predicted value of the delay time difference at the integer value is compared to the output signal of the first element to the third output. 11. A method for estimating an angle of incidence of a signal, characterized in that the angle of incidence of the A word is estimated by using the estimated value of the delay time difference of the signals.
