Specific embodiment
With reference to the accompanying drawing and specific embodiment is described in further detail technical solution of the present invention:
The present invention proposes a kind of method for carrying out angle estimation using relatively prime linear array, the array antenna structure that this method uses It is made of the even linear array that two array numbers are respectively 2M and N, array element spacing is respectively λ/2 N and λ/2 M, and wherein M and N is relatively prime Number and M < N, λ are carrier wavelength, and two submatrix at the origins have an array element to be overlapped.It is required that array number be 2M and N be because The number and range of the continuously and virtually array element generated in this way have closed solutions, while available more continuous array elements.
One, data model
One as shown in Fig. 1 can be used relatively prime linear array example of the invention, wherein M=3, N=4.
Assuming that K come from θkThe narrow band signal of (k=1,2 ..., K) is incident in relatively prime linear array as shown in Figure 1, then battle array Column receive signal and are represented by
X=AS+N
Wherein, S=[s1, s2..., sK]TFor signal matrix, sk=[sk(1), sk(2) ..., sk(L)], L is number of snapshots, skIt (l) is the l times sampled result to k-th of signal, l=1,2 ..., L;N is the additive white Gaussian noise of array, and mean value is Zero, variance isA=[a (θ1), a (θ2) ..., a (θK)] be array direction matrix, a (θk) it is θkSquare upwardly direction to Amount.The direction vector of two submatrixs can be expressed as
Wherein, λ/2 d=.Therefore when entire array being used to carry out DOA estimation, direction vector is represented by
Wherein, a21k) it is a2k) remove the vector after the first row.
Two, angle estimating method
1, it virtualizes
Firstly, seeking the covariance matrix of relatively prime linear array reception signal X.In Practical Project, since signal sampling is all to have Carried out under limit number of snapshots, receive the covariance matrix of signal byIt is calculated.It willVectorization is carried out to handle It arrives
Wherein,A long void can be regarded as The direction matrix of matroid column,For single snap signal vector,WithRespectively noise power and k-th The signal power of signal,I is unit matrix, and vec () indicates vectorization operation, []HRepresenting matrix or to The conjugate transposition of amount, []TRepresenting matrix or vector transposition, []*Represent the conjugate operation of matrix or vector.
It, can be with since the virtual array of relatively prime array is made of one section of continuous even linear array and some discontinuous array elements It proves, the range of even linear array is [- (MN+M-1) d, (MN+M-1) d], i.e. -1 array element of intermediate 2M (N+1) of virtual array is Continuously distributed.It is M=3 as shown in Figure 2, virtual array when N=4.Since DFT algorithm usually requires that array is uniform line Battle array, so our puncture tablesIn duplicate row, and intercept continuous array element part, obtain by continuously and virtually array received to Signal
Wherein,For the direction matrix of continuously and virtually array, T=2M (N+1) -1 For continuously and virtually array element sum, (l, k) a element of matrix B is VectorOnly (T+1)/2 element is 1, remaining element is zero.Next our receptions to continuously and virtually array Signal z uses DFT algorithm.
2, initial estimation
Normalized DFT matrix is constructed firstI.e.
Wherein, (p, q) a element of matrix F isTo b (θk) DFT transform is carried out, it obtains Q-th of element be
If can be seen that q from the formulak=Tsin θk/ 2 be integer, thenHave and only qkA element is not zero.This When, θkValue can be byThe location estimation of nonzero element obtains.Work as qk=Tsin θk/ 2 be integer when,? round{T sinθk/ 2 } a element and its neighbouring element are nonzero value (round { } is the operation that rounds up), but by InIt is still that (nonzero element concentrates on round { T sin θ to sparse vectork/ 2 } near), soThe position of peak value Setting still can be used for θkCarry out initial estimation.
In practical applications, although azimuth is unknown can not to calculate direction vector, we can be to virtual after virtualization It receives signal z and carries out DFT transform.Enabling transformed signal is yini=Fz, yiniQ-th of element be
The position for remembering its K peak-peak isIt can thus be concluded that the initial estimation of signal direction of arrival
3, accurate estimation
As the above analysis, as Tsin θk/ 2 be integer when, the accuracy of angle estimation can not be promoted.In order into one Step promotes the estimated accuracy of the algorithm, we introduce phase rotation to compensate to error.
Defining phase rotation matrix Φ (η) is
Wherein, offset phase η ∈ (- π/T, π/T).DFT transform is carried out to the direction vector Jing Guo phase rotation, is obtainedIts q-th of element be
Obviously, an offset phase η is certainly existedk∈ (- π/T, π/T), so that equationAt It is vertical, at this timeHave and only one nonzero element, solving nonzero element in initial estimation does not lead to estimated accuracy uniquely The problem of reduction.ηkValue can be by be obtained in the search of (- π/T, π/T) interior small range, i.e.,
Wherein,It is the of matrix FRow.Thus we can obtain the accurate estimation of signal direction of arrival
Three, performance evaluation
1, spatial degrees of freedom (Degree of freedom, DOF)
As the above analysis, DFT algorithm can utilize whole continuously and virtually array elements of relatively prime array, and obtained space is free Degree is DOFdft=2MN+2M-1.In contrast, common space smoothing class algorithm needs for continuously and virtually array element to be divided into several Submatrix, therefore spatial degrees of freedom is only DOFss=MN+M, the almost half of DFT algorithm.It can be seen that in same antenna number feelings DFT algorithm can obtain higher spatial degrees of freedom under condition.
2, computation complexity
To multiply number again as complexity judgment criteria, then the computation complexity of DFT algorithm specifically includes that calculating receives letter Number covariance matrix needs O { (2M+N-1)2L }, O { T is needed to the virtual signal progress DFT transform that receives2, accurate estimation procedure O { GTK } is needed, wherein G indicates the phase search number in accurate estimation procedure.Total complexity of DFT algorithm is O { (2M+N- 1)2L+T2+GTK}.In contrast, DFT algorithm is a kind of algorithm of low complex degree.
Fig. 3 is when 10 signals are incident on relatively prime array, the angle estimation scatter plot that is obtained using DFT algorithm.At this time mutually The array number of matter linear array is M=7, N=9, L=500, SNR=0dB.It can be seen from the figure that the algorithm can be effectively estimated out Direction of arrival.
Fig. 4 is that DFT algorithm initial estimation and the performance accurately estimated compare, and the array number of relatively prime linear array is M=7, N at this time =9, the azimuth of signal is (10 °, 20 °), goes up=500.The case where wherein case1 is G=10, case2 are the feelings of G=100 Condition.
Fig. 5 is that algorithm performance compares under different number of snapshots, at this time the array number of relatively prime linear array be M=7, N=9, signal Azimuth is (10 °, 20 °).
Fig. 6 is that DFT algorithm performance compares under various information source number, and the array number of relatively prime linear array is M=7, N=9, L=at this time 500.As information source number K=2, azimuth is (10 °, 20 °);When K=3, azimuth is (10 °, 20 °, 30 °);When K=4, (10 °, 20 °, 30 °, 40 °).
