The invention relates to the field of direction-of-arrival positioning, and discloses a two-dimensional DOA
estimation and channel phase disturbance
correction method based on a uniform circular array. According to the two-dimensional DOA
estimation and channel phase disturbance
correction method, phase disturbance is processed at the cost of sacrificing the
array aperture, and the method is a two-stage rank loss method. The two-dimensional DOA
estimation and channel phase disturbance
correction method comprises the steps of: 1, according to the characteristics of a
Bessel function, truncatingan ideal steering vector in a compact uniform circular array mode space domain to construct a dimension reduction vector, and constructing a target function only related to phase disturbance based onthe dimension reduction vector and mode space domain conversion of channel phase disturbance; and 2, decoupling
pitch and
azimuth parameters in an ideal steering vector in a uniform circular array mode space domain to obtain a dimension reduction vector related to a
pitch angle, and constructing a one-dimensional search target function only related to an
azimuth angle. The two-dimensional DOA estimation and channel phase disturbance correction method provided by the invention can work online, and does not need an auxiliary
array element. Besides, compared with a phase disturbance removing method based on a
Hadamard product, the two-dimensional DOA estimation and channel phase disturbance correction method can be applied to a uniform circular array with a larger aperture, only needs a small number of array elements and can be applied to two-dimensional DOA estimation.
