Enable MUSIC algorithm spatial spectrum are as follows:
The azimuth estimation value of signal can be obtained according to above formula peak position.
Below with reference to emulation experiment, the present invention will be further described.
1. simulated conditions:
Emulation uses 16 unit even linear arrays, and array element spacing is 0.0803m, and snap number is 1024, signal-to-noise ratio 10dB. Assuming that existing 4 information sources are incident in aerial array with -50 °, -15 °, 30 °, 60 ° of angle respectively.
2. emulation content and interpretation of result:
Emulation experiment of the invention has 4.
Emulation experiment 1:MUSIC algorithm estimates incoherent and coherent signal DOA respectively.
If this 4 signals are all mutually indepedent, simulation result is as shown in Figure 3;If the 2nd and the 4th signal coherence, Remaining is mutually indepedent, then simulation result is as shown in Figure 4.
Simulation result illustrates that MUSIC algorithm can be very good independent signal to estimate arrival bearing, but in LTE external radiation In the radar system of source, since the DOA estimation of the coherent clutter of multipath generation cannot use MUSIC algorithm, the spectrum of coherent clutter Peak is submerged, and be will lead to the signal number estimated and is tailed off.
Emulation experiment two: the verifying to CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm decorrelation energy.
2nd and the 4th signal coherence, remaining is mutually indepedent.Respectively with CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm and MUSIC algorithm carries out DOA estimation, verifies the decorrelation LMS performance of modified hydrothermal process, as shown in Figure 5.
Simulation result illustrates that CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm can accurately tell coherent signal and independent letter Number, and resolving accuracy can be used for the DOA estimation of monitoring signals in LTE external radiation source radar system compared with MUSIC high.
Emulation experiment three: there are when coherent, compare front-rear space smooth algorithm and the recombination of CR-Toepltiz matrix The DOA estimation effect of algorithm.
As can be seen from Figure 6, all there is spectral peak in preset azimuth position in two kinds of algorithms, illustrate both algorithms to relevant letter Number DOA can accurately estimate.But comparatively more another algorithm of CR-Toepltiz algorithm spectral peak is sharp Sharper, resolving accuracy is more preferable.
Emulation experiment four: comparison front-rear space smooth algorithm and CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm DOA estimation property Energy.
In order to verify the validity of new algorithm, 100 Monte Carlo experiments are carried out in experiment, different noises is set Than with snap number, the estimate variance of comparison algorithm, as shown in Figure 7,8.Different coherent signal quantity is set again, observes two kinds The runing time of algorithm, as a result as shown in Figure 9.
Simulation result Fig. 7 can be seen that CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm in the case where signal-to-noise ratio is equal, relative to Another algorithm estimate variance is smaller, and algorithm performance is more stable.As it can be observed in the picture that estimation side of the size of number of snapshots to algorithm Difference is influential, and the estimate variance of CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm is bigger when number is less, but After number is gradually increased to 200 times, the estimate variance of two kinds of algorithms all becomes relatively stable.As can be seen from Figure 9 when aerial array connects When the coherent signal number increase received, the CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm time is relatively stable and the time is short, not by shadow It rings.And another algorithm, when coherent signal number is p, at least needs 2p/3 array element due to needing to submatrix smoothing processing. CR-Toepltiz matrix reassembly algorithm does not need smooth submatrix, does not have to sacrifice array aperture, it is only necessary to takeFirst trip element just Next step operation can be carried out, calculation amount is lower, and runing time is short.
It should be understood that the above-mentioned description for preferred embodiment is more detailed, can not therefore be considered to this The limitation of invention patent protection range, those skilled in the art under the inspiration of the present invention, are not departing from power of the present invention Benefit requires to make replacement or deformation under protected ambit, fall within the scope of protection of the present invention, this hair It is bright range is claimed to be determined by the appended claims.
