Estimation Method of Direction of Arrival for Noncircular Signals Based on Polynomial Solution

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for estimating the DOA (direction of arrival) of a non-circular signal based on polynomial solving, and mainly solves problems that the array elements are low in utilization rate and the signal recognition number is small in the prior art. The method comprises the implementation steps: 1), obtaining an output signal of a nested array, calculating a covariance matrix and an elliptical covariance matrix according to the signal, constructing an equivalent covariance vector and an equivalent elliptical covariance vector, and calculating the dimensions of all elements in the two vectors; 2), calculating a virtual array covariance vector and a virtual array elliptical covariance vector, constructing two DOA selection matrixes, and calculating the noise subspaces; 3), obtaining a first noise matrix, a second noise matrix, a third noise matrix and a fourth noise matrix through the noise subspaces, and constructing a polynomial equation according to the two noise matrixes; 4), calculating the roots of the polynomial equation, and obtaining a target DOA value. According to the invention, the method greatly increases the number of array recognizable signal sources under the non-circular signal environment, and can be used for target detection and passive positioning.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

This method has the ability to estimate the number of signals more than the number of array elements. However, the discussion of this array is focused on the condition that the received signal is a circular signal, and there is no research on how to use this array to process non-circular signals.

[0005] In practical applications, with a non-circular signal environment, given a certain number of array elements, if these array elements and the non-circular characteristics of the signal cannot be rationally utilized, enough signals cannot be estimated, resulting in a waste of reconnaissance and positioning resources
