A kind of embodiment of broadband weak signal enhancement method of the invention:
Under far field condition, K broadband signal sk(t) (k=0,1 ..., K-1) be incident on be made of M (M >=K) array element and On the uniform straight line array of delay line, wherein s0It (t) is desired signal, s1(t),s2(t),…,sK-1It (t) is interference signal.Then structure The wideband array reception model for making no tapped delay line is as follows:
Wherein, x (t)=[x0(t),x1(t),...,xM-1(t)]T, xm(t) (m=0,1 ..., M-1) it is in m array element Reception signal, ()TIndicate transposition.xk(t)=[sk(t),sk(t-τk,1),...,sk(t-τk,M-1)]TIt is signal sk(t) Receive vector, τk,m=mdsin (θk)/c is sk(t) propagation delay when reaching array element m relative to reference array element, θk∈[-90°, 90 °] it is incident angle, d is adjacent array element spacing, and c is spread speed.N (t) is system noise vector.
Broadband signal sk(t) superposition of multiple narrow band signals can be equivalent to, it may be assumed that
Wherein,Indicate sk(t) in frequency fiOn narrow-band component, flAnd fhRespectively the low-limit frequency of signal and Highest frequency.So sk(t) reception vector xk(t) it may be expressed as:
Wherein, a (fik) it is in frequency fiOn steering vector.

For this purpose, the present invention takes common pre-delay compensation technology, i.e., a delay cell is added after each array element, Setting value is followed successively by 0 ,-τ0,1,...,-τ0,M-1, for compensating propagation delay of the desired signal in different array elements, believe expectation Arrival time number in different array elements is identical, is equivalent to be transformed toIncident direction on,Indicate predelay Desired signal after compensationIncident angle.So have for optional frequency fBy a0= [1,1,...,1]TSubstitution formula (9) can obtain:
Wherein,To sample obtained covariance matrix, After pre-delay compensation It receives signal phasor (i.e. compensated broadband signal),For the covariance matrix of narrow-band array signal modelInverse square Battle array, a0It is setting incident angle for incident angleSteering vector.The w acquired by above formula can effectively enhanceAll frequencies The output signal of rate component, Wave beam forming isThe structure of broadband weak signal enhancement device of the invention is as schemed Shown in 4.
As desired signal incident angle θ0And covariance matrixWhen accurately known, the above method can get preferable output Performance.But in practice, due to the limitation of angle measurement accuracy and number of snapshots, θ0WithOften there is certain deviation, leads to wave beam Shaper accidentally falls desired signal as AF panel, so that the sharply decline of output performance.In order to enhance Beam-former Robustness, a kind of effective method are to remove desired signal from covariance matrix, i.e. reconstruct interference-plus-noise covariance square Battle array.The existing beamforming algorithm based on interference plus noise covariance matrix reconstruct is mostly directed to narrow band signal, needle of the present invention To the broadband weak signal enhancement device shown in Fig. 4 without tapped delay line.
After pre-delay compensationThe equivalent incident angle section of reception vector sum remember respectively ForWithAccording to formula (7), have:
Covariance matrix is defined as:
Formula (11) are substituted into formula (12), can be obtained:
Wherein,Expression pairTake conjugation.Due to irrelevant between different narrow-band components, i.e.,Above formula can simplify are as follows:
Wherein,It indicatesPower.It is acquired using following formula:
Formula (15) are substituted into formula (14), can be obtained:
When the incident angle of all interference signals is accurately known, the association of the restructural each interference signal out of formula (16) is utilized Variance matrix calculates interference signal according to the covariance matrix of the incident angle of interference signal and narrow-band array signal model Covariance matrix;The interference covariance matrix acquired is added with the noise covariance matrix of estimation again, which can reconstruct interference, adds Noise covariance matrix.
But under normal conditions, the incident angle of interference signal is unknown, in this case, according to narrow-band array signal mode The covariance matrix of type constructs interference plus noise covariance matrix, is calculated according to interference plus noise covariance matrix and steering vector Weight vectors are obtained, interference plus noise covariance matrix can be reconstructed by following formula:
Wherein,For interference plus noise covariance matrix,For the covariance matrix of narrow-band array signal model Inverse matrix,For the incident angle of narrow-band array signal,Come for interference and noise to section,Δ θ indicates the maximum estimated deviation of desired signal incident angle,It indicates Frequency is fh, incident angle beNarrow-band array signal steering vector,ForConjugate transposition Matrix.It utilizesIn substituted (10)The weight vectors with strong robustness can be acquired:
The present invention interference signal come to unknown condition under merely with narrowband Capon spectrum can structural wideband interference plus make an uproar Sound covariance matrix.
But when there are angular error, the weight vectors that the above method acquires cannot keep frequency invariance, so as to cause Output signal distortion.It, can be further using polygonal in order to realize there are desired signal is exported under the conditions of angular error without distortions It spends linear restriction method and forms the corresponding multi-angle linear restriction of flat-top, i.e., it is multiple to be arranged in neighbouring angle in desired signal Corresponding constraint, it may be assumed that
Wherein,For corresponding vector, angle () expression is taken Phase, w are weight vectors,For interference plus noise covariance matrixInverse matrix, C is constraint matrix, C=[a (fh,-Δθ),a0,a(fh, Δ θ)], wherein a0It is the steering vector for setting incident angle, a (f for incident angleh, Δ θ) and it is frequency Rate is the highest frequency f of broadband signalh, incident angle be maximum estimated deviation steering vector, a (fh,-Δ θ) it be frequency is wide The highest frequency f of band signalh, incident angle be that maximum estimated deviation takes the steering vector of negative value.Utilize Language multiplier method (i.e. LCMV method) solves formula (19), can obtain weight vectors finally are as follows:
The present invention is corresponding using the flat-top that multi-angle linear restriction realizes main lobe wave beam, to effectively prevent due to frequency Distorted signals caused by rate inconsistency realizes airspace filter, achievees the purpose that enhancing it is expected and inhibits interference and noise.
