Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of array signal processing, and particularly relates to an off-grid (off-grid) target angle estimation method based on approximate message transfer.
Background
In the fields of radar, sonar, seismic remote sensing, and the like, target angle estimation (DOA) is a fundamental problem. In recent years, the mainstream idea is to introduce a sparse recovery algorithm, construct a sparse representation model of an array receiving signal according to the sparsity characteristic of the receiving signal, and complete real-time reconstruction of the signal. Compared with the traditional algorithm, the method has the remarkable advantage of improving the robustness of the signals with limited noise and sampling number and related signals.
Although solving such sparse recovery problems is difficult, accurate recovery is also possible for a strong sparse signal and well-designed dictionary matrices. Sparse Bayesian Learning (SBL) is one of the classic methods. There are two types of estimation in this approach. The first is a maximum a posteriori estimation based on sparse induced prior distribution. The second type of estimation operates in the hidden variable space with a variational representation of the hidden variable distribution that results in sparse estimates of a posteriori information beyond the mode. A series of algorithms based on the method are provided for different application scenes. These algorithms work on estimates of the hyperparameters in the Bayesian hierarchical model either by expectation-maximization iterations or by maximization iterations of evidence functions. However, each iteration of the SBL algorithm involves large-scale matrix inversion, and particularly in multi-objective solution, the calculation complexity of the SBL algorithm is very high, so that the SBL algorithm is limited to be applied to practical engineering. In order to effectively reduce the algorithm complexity, an Approximate information transfer Algorithm (AMP) is adopted in an E-Step of the SBL (see Chinese patent for details, a rapid target angle estimation method based on sparse Bayesian learning, and a patent number of ZL 2019100131299). The AMP algorithm is used for performing loop confidence coefficient propagation by using an approximate value of a central limit theorem on a bottom-layer factor graph, and effectively compensates sparse undersampling by introducing a message transfer term into an iterative threshold scheme, so that the posterior probability distribution of signals is obtained by low-complexity operation.
Consider an array of m antennas receiving signals from different directions theta1θ2… θK]TOf K targets, here [ … ]]TRepresenting the transpose of the matrix. The signal model of the SBL algorithm may be written as
y(t)=Ax(t)+n(t) (1)
Where y (t) represents the array received signal at time t,a matrix of a dictionary is represented,the steering vector of the array represents a received signal vector formed by plane waves incident to the array under a far-field condition, the vector is a complex vector, the dimension of the complex vector is equal to the number of array elements of the array, and for a uniform linear array consisting of m antennas, the steering vector can be expressed as:
wherein d represents the distance between array elements, lambda represents the wavelength of the electromagnetic waves emitted by the array, pi is a circumferential rate constant, and theta represents any incident angle. In dictionary matrix AA grid division related to a space incident angle is formed, the finer the grid division is, the higher the resolution of target angle estimation is, generally, a possible space domain interval is divided at equal intervals, and the value of N is far larger than the number m of array elements. (1) X (t) in (a) represents a received target signal vector, whose elements are in one-to-one correspondence with each column in the dictionary matrix, and when there is a target at its corresponding angle of incidence, the elements of x (t) are equal to the complex values of the signals; when the corresponding angle does not have a target, the element value of x (t) is 0. n (t) represents the additive noise of the system. Here we assume that the target signals at different times are statistically independent, an assumption that is quite common in radar signal processing. In practical engineering applications, n (t) is generally assumed to be zero-mean white Gaussian noise, i.e., white Gaussian noiseAnd is different fromThe noise between the moments is statistically independent, hereA complex Gaussian distribution representing the zero mean of the complex number with a variance of σ0I,σ0Representing the power of the noise, I represents the identity matrix; as used hereinafterRepresenting a complex gaussian distribution function with a mean of α and a variance of β.
According to the signal model, the echo signals of the array can meet the distributionFor Bayesian derivation, the prior probability distribution of the signal vector x (t) is generally assumed to beAnd the signals at different time instants are statistically independent, wherein
Is a diagonal matrix with the element gamma on the diagonaljJ is 1, and 2 … N is the variance of its corresponding element in x (t). When gamma isjWhen the angle is approximately equal to 0, the corresponding incident angle is shownNo target present; otherwise, the target exists. It is to be noted here that although the signals at different time instants are statistically independent, their prior probability distributions at different time instants are the same for the signal at a certain angle of incidence due to the signals from the same transmit signal source. In summary, the parameters to be estimated by the sparse bayesian algorithm include the noise power σ0And a target number K.
According to the signal model, the resolution and the angle estimation accuracy of the sparse Bayesian algorithm are determined by the dictionary matrix A reflecting the grid division density, but no matter how fine the grid is, targets outside the grid always exist, and echo signals of the targets cause mismatching of the dictionary matrix A, so that the target estimation performance of the system is reduced. Therefore, a new sparse bayesian algorithm is needed to process targets outside the grid, and the angle estimation accuracy of the algorithm is improved.
Disclosure of Invention
The invention mainly solves the technical problem that under the condition that a target is not positioned at a space angle grid node, the traditional target angle estimation algorithm based on Bayesian learning can only identify one grid node adjacent to the target, and the real angle of the target is difficult to accurately estimate.
The invention provides a grid-off target angle estimation method based on approximate message transfer (AMP), aiming at the problem that the existing Bayes learning algorithm based on approximate message transfer (AMP) (Chinese patent: a rapid target angle estimation method based on sparse Bayes learning, and patent number ZL2019100131299) can not more accurately estimate off-grid target angles.

S3.2 estimating target quantity optimal solution K*: different from the Chinese invention patent 'a rapid target angle estimation method based on sparse Bayesian learning', patent number ZL2019100131299, the invention needs to determine the number of targets before estimating the noise power, so as to conveniently update the noise power sigma at S3.30The intermediate result calculated in the step can be utilized to reduce the consumption of calculation resources.

Through the above steps, the number of targets and the grid nodes where the targets are located (i.e. exceeding the threshold) have been roughly estimated5Gamma of (2)jThe corresponding grid node, that is, the angle estimation value of the target), but since the real position of the target may be between two grid nodes, the grid node is adjusted by adopting a gradient descent algorithm in the step, so that the grid node is closer to the real position of the target, thereby improving the target angle estimation accuracy.

Detailed Description
The invention is further illustrated with reference to the accompanying drawings:
FIG. 1 is a general process flow of the present invention.
The invention discloses a Bayesian learning rapid target angle estimation algorithm based on generalized approximate message transmission, which comprises the following steps of:
s1 parameter gamma to be estimatedj,j=1,2,…,N、σ0And initializing a dictionary matrix A;
s2, rapidly obtaining a signal posterior probability density function at each moment by using an AMP algorithm;
s3 updating the parameter gamma to be estimated by using EM algorithmjJ is 1,2 … N, and the target number optimal solution K is obtained*Updating the noise power σ0;
S5 determines when the algorithm iteration converges and determines the incoming wave direction and number.
FIG. 2 is a spatial power spectrum of the method of the present invention and classical LASSO, RVM and Atomic Norm algorithms. The simulation is based on a uniform linear array with array elements of 16 and half-wavelength intervals. Consider two incoherent targets emitting signals incident on the array at-5 ° and 15.5 ° positions, respectively, with the signal-to-noise ratios of the target signals both being-10 dB, for a total of 50 collected samples received by the array. The four algorithms all adopt the same space grid division and dictionary matrix, namely, the division of 1-degree interval is carried out on the angle space ranging from-45 degrees to 45 degrees. As can be seen from the figure, the space universality of the four algorithms is the peak value at the target position, the LASSO algorithm has the narrowest peak value, the Atomic Norm algorithm is next to the narrow peak value, the RVM algorithm has the widest peak value, and the peak value width of the algorithm is in the middle of the Atomic Norm algorithm and the RVM algorithm. Therefore, an accurate angle estimation result can be obtained by the pole detection method.
FIG. 3 shows the variation of estimation accuracy with SNR for the Atomic Norm algorithm, the present algorithm, and the present algorithm without the step S4. The estimation accuracy is represented by the root mean square error of the angle estimation value of 50 times of simulation, and the expression isHere, theThe angle estimate from the i-th simulation is shown. As can be seen, the algorithm of the present invention performed better than the Atomic Norm algorithm and the algorithm without the S4 step in the tests of the two sets of targets (angles of-5 °, 15.5 ° and 5 °, 30.2 °, respectively), especially in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio.
Fig. 4 shows the variation of the estimation accuracy with the number of samples collected in the four methods, where the snr is-10 dB, (a) the target angle is 5 ° and 30 °, (b) the target angle is-5 ° and 15 °. As can be seen, the RMSE exhibited a decreasing trend for all four methods as the number of samples increased. The RVM algorithm has the best estimation precision under the condition of small samples, but as the RMSE decreases slowly with the increase of the number of samples, the method disclosed by the invention has similar performance to that of the LASSO algorithm.
FIG. 5 is a graph showing comparison of the operation time with the number of samples. The calculation complexity of each algorithm is measured through the operation time, at the moment, the array element number is 16, the SNR is-5 dB, the grid interval is 1 degree, and the two target incidence angles are respectively 5 degrees and 30.2 degrees. As can be seen, the computation time increases as the number of samples increases, but the computation time of the method of the present invention is orders of magnitude longer than that of LASSO, RVM and Atomic Norm algorithms. Comparing fig. 3, it can be seen that the addition of the gradient descent algorithm only slightly increases the operation time, but the DOA estimation accuracy is significantly increased.
Fig. 6 is a comparison graph of the number of array elements 10 in addition to fig. 5, showing the change in the operation time with the number of samples. Comparing with fig. 5, it can be seen that the calculation time of each algorithm is obviously reduced as the number of array elements is reduced, and the algorithm of the present invention is superior to other algorithms.
Fig. 7 is a comparison graph of the operation time obtained by changing the angle division interval to 0.5 ° on the basis of fig. 5 as a function of the number of samples. As can be seen from comparison of FIG. 5, the grid precision has a significant influence on the operation time, the operation time of each algorithm is greatly increased, but the operation time of the algorithm of the invention is still significantly lower than that of other algorithms.
The simulation-based experimental result shows that the algorithm has strong robustness on noise, is still effective on small sample data, has obviously higher computational efficiency and angle estimation precision than the traditional method, and meets the requirement of real-time target angle estimation. The method can realize the accurate estimation of the incident angle of multiple targets under the condition that the quality of radar echo data is limited, and particularly provides technical support for missile defense and space target identification in space target monitoring under the condition of strong confrontation, and has high engineering application value.
