Abstract

The present invention discloses a method for enhancing the accuracy of signal receiving wave arrival direction estimation, which comprises that the received signal matrix of an antenna implements time delay row transformation and spatial column transformation; elements having the amplitude value for satisfying the requirements in the transformed matrix implement the estimation for the time delay and the wave arrival direction. When the signal wave arrival direction is estimated, the limitation for the signal time delay is increased, so the time delay and the wave arrival direction of the signals are simultaneously estimated. The present invention reduces the interference among different signals and increases the accuracy of the result for the signal wave arrival direction estimation by utilizing the characteristic that the time delay and the wave arrival direction of different signals can not be simultaneously equal.

A3) new row is vectorial by zero padding, extend to the length L of hope 2
A4) the capable vector after expanding is recomputated FFT.
For convenience, name aforesaid operations step is the time delay line translation.Processing procedure and above-mentioned time delay line translation for each row of X are separate, therefore here still at the first row description operation step of X:
B1) improve the direction of arrival estimated resolution, with column vector [x (1)(1) ... x (P)(1)] TBy zero padding, extend to the length L of hope 1
B2) to the column vector calculation FFT after expanding.
Equally for convenience, name aforesaid operations step is the spatial domain rank transformation.
Do the spatial domain rank transformation and each row of matrix is done the time delay line translation for each row to the data matrix recited above, do not have inevitable order, both can advanced line space territory rank transformation in the reality, also can carry out the time delay line translation earlier.
Suppose through the matrix that obtains after the conversion of above-mentioned row and column to be:
Above described length L 1And length L 2Be according to the time delay estimated resolution is required to determine.
Each element to matrix Y is asked amplitude, finds out peak point, and carries out descending sort according to the size of numerical value, according to the multipath signal Energy Estimation, selects to estimate L kThe time delay and the direction of arrival of footpath signal are then got the preceding L after the ordering kIndividual element, wherein L kIt is the number of wanting the signal of estimation time delay and direction of arrival.Write down the position of the corresponding row and column of these numbers, suppose element y (m1)(m 2) be preceding L kArbitrary element in the individual element, then the time delay of the signal of element correspondence is [W-W (m 2-1)/L 2] T c, T wherein cBe chip period, if m 2=1, then the time delay of signal is estimated as 0.The direction of arrival Azimuth Estimation of the signal of corresponding tours antenna is 2 π (m 1-1)/L 1, unit is a radian.The estimation of corresponding linear antenna needs to calculate in two steps: at first calculate u=λ (m 1-1)/(2dL 1), if u>1, then u=u-1; The signal calculated direction of arrival is sin then -1(u), wherein, λ is a carrier wavelength, and d is the distance between the adjacent array element of linear antenna, sin -1() represents arcsin function.
Being applied to TD-SCDMA (TD SDMA) system below by the present invention is described further the present invention.
In TD SDMA (TD-SCDMA) system, being used for time delay and direction of arrival associating estimated signals is through middle pilot tone (midamble) coded signal after the despreading, also can be the channel estimating signal through obtaining after the joint-detection.The antenna that supposing the system adopts is a tours antenna, and the signal that this antenna obtains is h k (j)(n), j=1 wherein, Represent different array elements, k=1 ... √ K represents different user, n=1 ..., W represents the estimation of different channels constantly.Because in full accord at the signal Processing step of different user, so the subscript k of representative of consumer is omitted in the introduction of back.
In this example, specific implementation process of the present invention is as follows, with reference to figure 1.In step 1, judge that it is tours antenna or linear antenna that signal receives, because this routine system employing is tours antenna, therefore continue following operation; In step 2,, need at first to handle, to each vectorial y through linear transformation at the baseband signal that tours antenna receives 0(n)=[h (1)(n) ... h (J)(n)] T, n=1 ..., W will carry out formula y (m)=Ty 0(m), m=1,2 ..., the conversion of W.In step 3, the data of utilizing above-mentioned steps 2 process conversion are according to formula (2) structural matrix X, as mentioned before, hypothesis matrix X is the matrix of the capable W row of P, wishes matrix X is extended for the matrix that the capable N of M is listed as by zero padding, obtains the estimation of time delay and direction of arrival again by signal Processing, then in step 4, can do the time delay line translation to each row of X earlier, obtain the matrix of the capable N row of P, carry out the spatial domain rank transformation at each row of step 5 pair new matrix again; Perhaps earlier each row of X are done the spatial domain rank transformation, obtain the matrix of the capable W row of M, carry out time delay line translation at each row of step 5 pair new matrix again, the matrix Y of the capable N row of M that two kinds of methods can obtain ultimate demand in described step 4.In spatial domain rank transformation and time delay line translation, FFT calculates and also can replace with IFFT (inverse fast fourier transform) calculating, only need find out in the back after the peak point, does corresponding the adjustment and get final product when signal calculated time delay and direction of arrival estimated value.In step 6, find the solution the amplitude of each element of Y, find out peak point.Suppose only to need to estimate the time delay or the direction of arrival of two footpath signals, then select two maximum peak points.In step 7, peak point is carried out descending sort according to the size of numerical value, each peak point of location records that dashes at matrix by them is in which row and which row of matrix Y respectively, then can estimate this two pairing signal time delay of peak point and direction of arrival thus as follows: for any one the element y in above-mentioned two elements (m1)(m 2), then the time delay of Dui Ying signal is [W-W (m 2-1)/L 2] T c, the direction of arrival Azimuth Estimation of the signal of corresponding tours antenna is 2 π (m 1-1)/L 1
