Abstract
The invention belongs to the field of radar signal processing, and discloses a robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on an alternative direction multiplier method, which solves the problem of errors such as insufficient accuracy of an array or a signal of interest in the existing algorithm.
Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of radar signal processing, in particular to a robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on an alternating direction multiplier method.
Background
Adaptive beamforming has wide application in the fields of radar, sonar, wireless communication, and the like. Minimum variance distortion free response (MVDR) beamforming maximizes the beamformer output while maintaining the response in the signal direction. MVDR beamforming is optimal when the desired signal Steering Vector (SV) and the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix (INCM) are precisely known. However, in practical applications, Capon beamforming performance can be affected by inaccurate information such as directional mismatch, array calibration imperfections, and the like. To address these problems, many robust beamforming algorithms have been proposed in recent years. These beam forming methods can be roughly classified into the following categories: diagonal loading methods, feature space based methods, sparse reconstruction methods, and interference plus noise covariance matrix (INCM) reconstruction based methods.
The well-known diagonal loading method is to add a scaled identity matrix to the original INCM. To obtain the appropriate loading factor, different algorithms have been proposed based on the individual data uncertainty of the signal SV. However, the performance of these diagonal loading methods can be significantly degraded when the signal is contained in the sample snapshot; in some of the literature, INCM and signal SV are estimated by constructing a signal subspace and an interference subspace. However, in the general case, the feature space based approach is sensitive to the input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and the number of snapshots; in order to solve the problem of small number of snapshots, some documents have proposed a number of sparse reconstruction beamforming methods, such as IAA-based beamforming. However, these sparse reconstruction beamforming methods have the problem of SV model mismatch, and the estimation accuracy is also limited by the interval selection. The smaller the spacing, the greater the computational cost required. In an interference-plus-noise covariance matrix (INCM) reconstruction based method, the following two steps are required to estimate INCM and signal SV: first, to avoid performance degradation in high SNR situations, signal components need to be removed from the reconstructed INCM; the INCM can be reconstructed using Capon spectra to eliminate the desired signal component, and can also be reconstructed using a ring around the integration interval, even though the literature suggests a method to eliminate the effect of the desired signal using generalized angular low complexity INCM reconstruction. Second, the signal SV is constrained to maintain its robustness to SV mismatch. In some documents, a quadratic constraint quadratic optimization (QCQP) problem is constructed using components orthogonal to the assumed SV, and then the signal SV is solved by a MATLAB tool box CVX. Norm constraints for signal SV estimation are mentioned in some of the literature. The non-convex optimization problem can be converted into a convex optimization problem by using a semi-definite programming relaxation (SDR) method, and then a signal SV is obtained. But if the rank of the solution is not 1, an optimal solution may not be obtained in the rank reduction process.

1) Simulation parameters
And setting the array element number M as 10 uniform linear arrays, wherein the array element interval is half wavelength lambda/2. Assuming two interferers, a dry-to-noise ratio of 20dB, the directions are randomly generated in the interval (-25 deg., -15 deg.) and the interval (30 deg., 40 deg.), respectively. The noise follows an N (0,1) Gaussian distribution. In the simulation, the actual desired signal SV is unknown, the assumed signal direction θpIs 0 °, interval theta ═ thetap-5°,θp+5°]. In all experiments in this specification, the snapshots contain signals, and the simulation results are based on the average values obtained from 100 monte carlo experiments, and the effects of mutual coupling and multipath fading are not considered.
2) Simulation data processing results and analysis
The analysis discusses the impact of the problem of random aiming mismatch on the proposed beamforming algorithm. The actual desired signal is evenly distributed in (-3 °,3 °). Fig. 2(a) and fig. 2(b) respectively depict graphs of output SINR performance in the presence of random aiming error in different algorithms, respectively, versus input SNR and number of snapshots.
As can be seen from fig. 2, the robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the alternative direction multiplier method provided by the present invention is robust to signal direction errors and performs best in all RAB methods; when the input SNR is high, the performance of diagonal loading methods (such as DL and WC) degrades; the performance of the IAA and ANSM methods is mainly affected by the angular spacing accuracy.

The analysis discusses the effect of the beamforming algorithm proposed by the mismatch due to array element position errors. It is assumed that each array element position follows a uniform distribution of U (-lambda/40, lambda/40). Fig. 4(a) and fig. 4(b) respectively describe the relationship between the output SINR performance and the input SNR and the number of snapshots in the presence of array element position errors in different algorithms.
As can be seen from fig. 4, the performance of DL and Worst-case is better than other beamforming methods at low input SNR. When the input SNR is more than 0dB, the performance of the robust adaptive beam forming algorithm based on the alternative direction multiplier method is superior to that of other beam forming algorithms, and the method has stronger robustness to array element position errors.

Fig. 5(a) and 5(b) depict the output SINR performance versus input SNR and number of snapshots, respectively, for different algorithms in the presence of coherent local scattering. As can be seen from fig. 5, the robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the alternative direction multiplier method according to the present invention performs best in all beamformers.
In summary, the present invention provides a new robust adaptive beamforming method for solving a non-convex optimization problem, in which the robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the alternating direction multiplier method improves performance by preserving mode constraints, then converts a complex non-convex optimization problem into a real number problem (i.e., converts constraint conditions and objective functions into real-valued functions), and solves the problem by using ADMM. Compared with the traditional SDR non-convex problem solving method, the robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the alternative direction multiplier method avoids the rank reduction process, so that the robust adaptive beamforming algorithm may not meet the rank 1 constraint rule of the solution, but simulation results show that the robust adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the alternative direction multiplier method has superiority under different types of errors.
