Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of array signal processing, and particularly relates to a beam pattern-based selection method of an auxiliary channel antenna of a side lobe canceller.
Background
The signals received by the array usually consist of desired signals, interference signals and noise, and how to eliminate interference and noise parts in the received signals and design an optimal beam former is always a hot spot for array signal processing. The traditional methods have a Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) beam former, a Minimum Power Distortionless Response (MPDR) beam former and the like, and all the methods need to perform inversion operation on correlation matrixes of all array element received signals, and the operation complexity is high. This may affect the real-time performance in actual use.
In order to reduce the amount of computation, the side lobe canceller is an effective solution. The sidelobe canceller is a common airspace anti-interference means, and the anti-interference principle is that both a main channel antenna and an auxiliary channel antenna receive signals with interference, and the optimal weight is selected to enable the interference output of the auxiliary antenna to be as close to the main channel as possible, so that the interference of the main channel is counteracted. The sidelobe canceller usually selects a part of array elements to form an auxiliary channel, and only the correlation matrix of the array element receiving signals of the auxiliary channel part needs to be inverted in the operation process, so that the operation complexity is greatly reduced compared with the traditional method. Most of the existing side-lobe cancellation methods adopt a method of minimum output power, so that the power of the output difference between a main channel and an auxiliary channel is minimum, and the cancellation of interference signals is realized. In practical application, however, the target signal is also partially cancelled while the interference is eliminated, which affects the performance of the side lobe canceller to some extent. How to reduce the attenuation of the auxiliary channel to the desired signal becomes an important factor affecting the performance of the side lobe canceller.
In a conventional sidelobe canceller, generally, given an auxiliary channel and a main channel, cancellation is achieved by optimizing weights. In practical applications, the effect of different auxiliary channel positions on the performance of the sidelobe canceller is also significant.

According to the method of the present invention, the positions of the selected auxiliary channels, i.e. positions 0, 1, 10, 11, are obtained, and the four position antennas are selected to make the main channel, the auxiliary channel, and the sidelobe canceller directional diagrams for the auxiliary channels, respectively, as shown in fig. 4(a) -4 (d). As seen from fig. 4(a) to 4(d), the main channel and the auxiliary channel directional patterns are equal in height in the interference direction, and the auxiliary channel directional pattern is extremely low in the desired signal direction. Therefore, nulls are generated in the total direction diagram in the synthesis direction diagram of the sidelobe canceller at 30 degrees and 60 degrees in the interference direction, and the cancellation of interference signals is realized; the height of 0 degrees in the direction of the expected signal is basically consistent with that of the main channel, the main lobe distortion is basically not generated, and the maximum retention of the expected signal is realized.

It can be seen from the figure that the main channel and auxiliary channel directional diagrams are equal in height in the interference direction, and the auxiliary channel directional diagrams are extremely low in the desired signal direction. Therefore, nulls are generated in the total direction diagram in the synthesized directional diagram of the side lobe canceller at-60 degrees, 30 degrees and 60 degrees of the interference direction, and the cancellation of the interference signals is realized; the height of 0 degrees in the direction of the expected signal is basically consistent with that of the main channel, the main lobe distortion is basically not generated, and the maximum retention of the expected signal is realized.
In summary, the position of the auxiliary channel selected by the invention in this embodiment has good performance.

According to the method of the present invention, the positions of the selected auxiliary channel subarrays, i.e., positions 0, 5, and 7, are obtained, and the three position subarrays are selected as the auxiliary channels to respectively make the directional diagrams of the main channel, the auxiliary channel, and the sidelobe canceller as shown in fig. 8(a) -8 (d). It can be seen from the figure that the main channel and auxiliary channel directional diagrams are equal in height in the interference direction, and the auxiliary channel directional diagrams are extremely low in the desired signal direction. Therefore, nulls are generated in the total direction diagram in the synthesis direction diagram of the sidelobe canceller at 30 degrees and 60 degrees in the interference direction, and the cancellation of interference signals is realized; the height of 0 degrees in the direction of the expected signal is basically consistent with that of the main channel, the main lobe distortion is basically not generated, and the maximum retention of the expected signal is realized.
In summary, the position of the auxiliary channel subarray selected by the present invention in this embodiment has a good performance.
Through the three embodiments, the optimal auxiliary channel array element position or the optimal auxiliary channel sub-array position has good performance, and the cancellation of interference signals and the maximum reservation of expected signals are realized.
After the graphs of the three embodiments are verified, the output performance of the side lobe canceller is further verified. The selected index is the relation between the input signal-to-noise ratio and the output signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, two graphs respectively represent two situations of antenna selection by taking an array element as a unit and subarray selection by taking a subarray as a unit, in the graphs, the topmost curve reflects the performance of the optimal position auxiliary channel side lobe canceller, and the other three curves represent the performance of randomly selecting three auxiliary channel side lobe cancellers.
