Detailed Description
The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention, and it is obvious that the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. All other embodiments, which can be derived by a person skilled in the art from the embodiments given herein without making any creative effort, shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
It should be noted that the embodiments and features of the embodiments may be combined with each other without conflict.
The invention is further described with reference to the following drawings and specific examples, which are not intended to be limiting.
An arc array positioning method is applied to a uniform circular array, the uniform circular array comprises 4K antenna array elements which are distributed on the circumference at equal angle intervals, and the value range of K is that K is more than or equal to 1;
as shown in fig. 1, the method for positioning an arc antenna array includes:
step S1, controlling the rf channels of each antenna element to switch to the receiving channels one by one in a preset sequence to receive signals;
step S2, after signal preprocessing is carried out on the signals received by the antenna array elements, frequency offset correction processing is carried out to obtain frequency offset corrected signals corresponding to each antenna array element;
step S3, dividing every K adjacent antenna array elements to obtain 4K groups of arc arrays, and calculating the space spectrum peak value and arrival angle estimation result of each group of received signals according to the signals after the frequency offset correction of each antenna array element of each group of arc arrays;
step S4, obtaining a maximum spatial spectrum peak and a corresponding arrival angle estimation result according to the spatial spectrum peak and the arrival angle estimation result of each group of received signals;
step S5, determining the positions of a corresponding group of arc arrays in a uniform circular array according to the maximum space spectrum peak value and the corresponding arrival angle estimation result;
and step S6, determining the arrival angle estimation result of the uniform circular array according to the arrival angle estimation result corresponding to the maximum spatial spectrum peak value and the position of the arc array in the uniform circular array.
Specifically, in consideration of the fact that the accuracy of the estimation result is poor when the arrival angle estimation algorithm of the uniform circular array is adopted in the prior art, the invention provides the arc array positioning method, through the steps S1-S6, under the condition that the number of antenna array elements adopted by the arrival angle estimation algorithm in the prior art is the same, the estimation accuracy of the arrival angle can be improved, and the switching array mode is also adopted in the invention, so that the engineering implementation is easy. In the invention:
in step S1, the radio frequency channels in which each antenna array element is located are controlled to be switched to receiving channels one by one in a preset sequence to receive signals, specifically, all the antenna array elements on the uniform circular array are numbered as 1,2,3, and 4 … 4K clockwise in sequence, the radio frequency channel in which each antenna array element is located is controlled to be switched to a receiving channel one by one, that is, the radio frequency channel in which antenna array element 1 is switched is the receiving channel to receive signals, other antenna array elements at this time are not received, then the receiving channel in antenna array element 1 is closed, the radio frequency channel in which antenna array element 2 is switched correspondingly is the receiving channel to receive signals, and so on, from antenna array element 1, antenna array element 2, antenna array element 3 … … to antenna array element 4K.
In step S2, the signals received by the antenna elements are subjected to signal preprocessing and then to frequency offset correction processing to obtain frequency offset corrected signals corresponding to each antenna element, specifically, the signals received by the antenna elements 1,2,3,4 … 4K are preprocessed and then subjected to frequency offset processing to remove inaccurate, affected and easily-caused result deviation signals in the signals, so as to improve the accuracy of the final positioning result.
In step S3, every K adjacent antenna array elements are divided to obtain 4K groups of arc arrays, and a spatial spectrum peak value and an arrival angle estimation result of each group of received signals are calculated according to a signal after frequency offset correction of each antenna array element of each group of arc arrays, specifically, as shown in fig. 2, a uniform circular array is divided into 4K groups of arc arrays, each group includes adjacent K antenna array elements, wherein one division manner is that the deviation of the adjacent arc arrays is 1 antenna array element, that is: the first group of arc-shaped arrays are antenna array element 1, antenna array element 2, antenna array element 3 … … -antenna array element K, the second group of arc-shaped arrays are antenna array element 2, antenna array element 3, antenna array element 4 … … -antenna array element K +1, the division mode is the most preferable division mode, 4K groups of arc-shaped arrays can be obtained after division, and the corresponding positioning result is the most accurate.
In step S4, a maximum spatial spectrum peak and a corresponding arrival angle estimation result are obtained according to the spatial spectrum peak and arrival angle estimation result of each group of received signals, specifically, the received signals are divided into 4K groups of arc arrays according to the division result, and after the spatial spectrum peak and arrival angle estimation result of each group of arc arrays are obtained, a maximum spatial spectrum peak and an arrival angle estimation result corresponding to the maximum spatial spectrum peak are obtained according to all the spatial spectrum peak and arrival angle estimation results.
In step S5, the positions of the corresponding arc arrays in the uniform circular array are determined according to the maximum spatial spectrum peak and the corresponding arrival angle estimation result, specifically, each arc array 1,2,3,4 … 4K has a spatial spectrum peak and a corresponding arrival angle estimation result, and if the K-th arc array corresponding to the maximum spatial spectrum peak is selected, the positions of the K-th arc array and the integrated uniform circular array are obtained.
In step S6, the arrival angle estimation result of the uniform circular array is determined according to the arrival angle estimation result corresponding to the maximum spatial spectrum peak and the position of the arc array in the uniform circular array.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 3, before the step S1 is executed, the method further includes the following steps:
step A1, selecting the radio frequency channel where the antenna array element at the preset position is located to switch to a receiving channel, closing the radio frequency channels where the other antenna arrays are located, and sending a reference single tone signal with a synchronization head through an external sending end;
step A2, judging whether all antenna elements at the preset positions can be synchronously matched with the reference single tone signal:
if yes, go to step S1;
if not, the process is exited.
Specifically, to ensure that all antennas can receive signals to achieve angle-of-arrival estimation of the signals, before step S1 is performed, steps a1 to a2 are further included to achieve synchronous matching of the signals. That is, the positions of 0 °, 90 °, 180 °, and 270 ° in the uniform circular array may be used as predetermined positions, and the antenna 1, the antenna K +1, the antenna 2K +1, and the antenna 3K +1 located at the predetermined positions are controlled to receive the single-tone signal with the sync header, and whether synchronization matching can be achieved is determined, if yes, the antenna at any position on the uniform circular array can receive the signal, so that the steps S1-S6 may be performed, and the arrival angle is estimated.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 4, step S2 includes:
step S21, performing analog-to-digital conversion on the signal received by each antenna array element to obtain a received signal after analog-to-digital conversion;
step S22, eliminating the received signals when the radio frequency channel of the corresponding antenna array element in the received signals after analog-to-digital conversion is in a switching state, and obtaining the filtered received signals;
step S23, obtaining the frequency offset of each antenna array element according to the filtered received signal, calculating a frequency offset mean value according to the frequency offset of each antenna array element, and performing frequency offset correction according to the filtered received signal of the frequency offset mean value.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the received signal of each antenna element comprises at least twice the period of the signal;
the frequency offset is expressed by the following formula:
Figure RE-GDA0002960762310000121
wherein,
Δ ε is used to represent the frequency offset;
r (m) represents a signal belonging to a previous cycle in the signal;
r (m + Nt) is used for representing a signal belonging to a next period in the signals;
m is used to represent the number of sample points of the signal and 2N is used to represent the total number of sample points.
Specifically, each antenna lasts for t times of the time for completely receiving a single-tone signal of one period, wherein t is more than or equal to 2, the phase of the signal received by each antenna in each period is the same, the phase difference of the signals of adjacent periods received by one antenna is caused by the existence of carrier frequency synchronization error, and the signal of the first period received by one antenna is expressed as
r(m)=s(m)*ejmΔε
Where m is 1,2,3,4, … … N, N is the number of sampling points of a tone signal in a complete period, s (m) is the tone signal to be transmitted, and Δ ∈ is the carrier frequency offset.
The signal received by the antenna in the second period is represented as
r(m+Nt)=s(m+Nt)*ej(m+Nt)Δε
Is divided by the above formula to obtain
Figure RE-GDA0002960762310000131
Since s (m + Nt) ═ s (m) can be obtained as a single tone signal with a complete period of the two received signals, the formula (3) can be simplified into
Q(m)=ej(Nt)Δε
Can be obtained from the above formula
Δε=arg(Q(m))/(Nt)
I.e., the frequency offset calculated for one antenna.
And by analogy, averaging the frequency offsets calculated by all the antennas to obtain a final frequency offset calculation result, and performing frequency offset correction on the received signal by using the final frequency offset calculation result.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 5, step S3 includes:
step S31, calculating the steering vector of each group of received signals and the noise characteristic vector related to the noise according to the signals after the frequency offset correction of each antenna array element of each group of arc array;
step S32, acquiring a noise subspace corresponding to the noise characteristic vector;
step S33, obtaining a spatial spectrum according to the orthogonality between the noise subspace and the array manifold vector, and performing a spectral peak search on the spatial spectrum to obtain a spatial spectral peak value and an arrival angle estimation result of each group of received signals.
It should be noted that the arrival angle estimation algorithm of the present invention can be applied to the scenario where multiple signal sources transmit signals, for example, when the number of signal sources is D, where D is greater than or equal to 1, and accordingly, the number of signal eigenvalues and eigenvectors is D, the number of noise eigenvalues and eigenvectors is K-D (K is the number of antenna elements in the arc array), and the noise in each channel is uncorrelated, then the noise correlation matrix is a diagonal matrix, and the uncorrelated noise has equal variance, that is, the number of signal sources is D

for representing the noise variance.
Subsequently, an array correlation matrix R is obtainedxxFurther, D eigenvectors related to the signal and K-D eigenvectors related to the noise are obtained, and the eigenvector corresponding to the minimum eigenvalue is selected. For uncorrelated signals, the minimum eigenvalue is equal to the variance of the noise. A subspace consisting of the noise feature vectors is then constructed, namely:
E=[e1 e2 … eK-D]
at angle of arrival theta1 θ2 … θDHere, the noise subspace eigenvector is orthogonal to the antenna array steering vector.
Correspondingly, a space spectrum is obtained according to the orthogonality of the noise subspace and the array manifold vector, and further the Euclidean distance d of the arrival angle of each signal source is obtained2=a(θ)HEEHa(θ)=0。
The distance expression is put into a denominator to obtain a spectral peak of an arrival angle, and a pseudospectrum of MUSIC is
Figure RE-GDA0002960762310000151
Therefore, the arrival angle estimation result of each group of arc array DOA algorithm can be obtained. Correspondingly, when the number of the signal sources is 1, the arrival angle estimation result of each group of the arc array DOA algorithm can be correspondingly recorded as gammaq1. The steps S31 to S33 may be used for the arrival angle estimation of a single signal source, and may also be used for the arrival angle estimation of multiple signal sources, and the situation that the arrival angle estimation result cannot be obtained due to different environmental restrictions may not occur.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the position of the arc array in the uniform circular array is determined using the following formula:
