Description

MIMO radar DOA and DOD estimation method based on co-prime array
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of communication, and further relates to a multi-Input multi-Output (MIMO) radar system Direction of Arrival (DOA) and target emission angle (DOD) joint estimation method based on a co-prime array in the technical field of radar. The invention realizes the target reconnaissance and passive positioning of the moving targets of the aircraft and the ships through the radar.
Background
The estimation of DOA and DOD of signals is an important branch of the array signal processing field, which means that space acoustic signals and electromagnetic signals are received by an antenna array in an induction mode, and then the direction of a signal source is rapidly and accurately estimated by using a modern signal processing method, so that the method has important application value in the fields of radar, sonar, wireless communication and the like. With the continuous progress of science and technology, there are higher and higher requirements on the accuracy and resolution of the estimation of the signal direction of arrival.
The MIMO radar transmits different waveform signals using a plurality of antennas and then receives echo signals using a plurality of antennas. The DOA and DOD estimation of the MIMO radar has the following advantages: the virtual aperture is expanded by using a matched filtering technology, so that the estimation precision of DOA and DOD is improved; the matched filtered virtual array estimates more targets than a conventional phased array radar; waveform diversity of the transmitted signal can be utilized to increase flexibility of the transmit beam design, thereby improving the accuracy of the DOA and DOD estimates.
Piya Pal et al, in their published paper, "Coprime Sampling and the MUSIC algorithm" ("Digital signal processing work and IEEE signal processing acquisition work", pp.289-294,2011.) discloses a method for estimating DOA based on a relatively prime array. The method firstly constructs a non-uniform co-prime array which is divided into two uniform sub-arrays, and the values of the array element intervals of the sub-arrays are co-prime. Then, the covariance matrix formed by the signals received by the array is rearranged, smoothed, and the like. And finally, performing MUSIC algorithm estimation to finally obtain DOA information. The method has the capability of estimating the number of signals which is more than the number of array elements, but the method still has the defect that the method can only estimate the one-dimensional DOA value of the common array radar and cannot be used for estimating the two-dimensional angle value in the MIMO array radar system.
The patent of Shenzhen research institute of Shenzhen university of Harbin Industrial university (patent application No. CN201410409417.3, publication No. CN104215947A) discloses a bistatic MIMO radar angle estimation method. The method utilizes a least square SLS method to carry out combined estimation on a target departure angle DOD and a direction of arrival angle DOA. Firstly, a rotational invariance equation is solved by using a structural least square method, and then the estimation error of the signal subspace is iteratively minimized, so that the estimation precision of the signal subspace is improved. However, the method still has the defects that the method adopts the typical linear uniform array, the estimated signal number is lower than the array element number, and the target number is too many to be identified, so that the target capture fails.
