针对来波信号功率不同情形下的波达方向估计问题,构建广义斜投影算子自适应抑制接收数据中非期望方向的接收信号,同时自适应调节空间谱加权系数,平衡强弱信号的空间谱峰。通过干扰抑制和空间谱估计的同步处理,实现信号源波达方向(direction of arrival,DOA)的高分辨估计,且避免弱信号的谱峰被强信号谱峰遮盖的问题。理论分析与仿真表明,所提方法在信号功率不同时,对弱信号的DOA估计具有更强的鲁棒性,可有效地实现对不同方向来波信号的高分辨DOA估计,降低信号功率不同带来的影响。且随着快拍数及信噪比的增加,DOA估计方差逐渐逼近相应的克拉美罗界下限。
With a small number of snapshots, performances of uniform circular array(UCA) root-MUSIC based methods for directionof-arrival(DOA) estimation suffer serious degradation, because the beamspace sample covariance matrix(BSCM) severely deviates from the true one. To solve this problem, an iterative technique is proposed. The proposed technique has two key points: transform array data into beamspace data and construct a BSCM; modify the BSCM repeatedly by removing the residual parts. Meanwhile,error and beamspace leakage associated with the BSCM are investigated. The proposed technique can significantly reduce the error and the beamspace leakage which in turn could improve the performance for DOA estimation. Simulation results are given to illustrate the superiority of the proposed technique for uncorrelated and correlated signals.
An effective approach in solving the sea clutter spectrum extraction problem is studied in the paper.Different from the conventional signal to noise ratio(SNR)method based on Doppler frequency or range domain information,a method is developed to characterize the differences between the sea echo and those interferences are by signal to interference plus noise ratio(SINR)which jointly utilizing the range,Doppler frequency and azimuth domain information.Furthermore,these differences can be adaptable to adverse conditions by forming the necessary boundaries and constraints in searching of the maximum SINR,which greatly promotes the extraction of sea clutter spectrum.The real high frequency surface wave radar(HFSWR)data demonstrate that the proposed method is less influenced by those interferences and can effectively extract the sea clutter spectrum even under the adverse conditions.Furthermore,it has been shown as an effective method for ship detection and sea state remote sensing of HFSWR.
