The invention discloses a
coprime array DOA
estimation method based on a
quantum penguin search mechanism under strong
impact noise. The method comprises the following steps: obtaining a fractional low-order
covariance matrix of an infinite norm weighted
signal; constructing an extended fractional low-order
covariance matrix and an extended guide matrix, and constructing a maximum likelihood direction finding equation based on the extended
covariance matrix; initializing a
quantum penguin group, and initializing the speed and the
quantum position of the quantum penguin; calculating fitness andcarrying out descending sort, and selecting a
global optimal quantum position; updating the quantum position of the quantum penguin; evaluating a quantum penguin position fitness value, and updatinga
global optimal quantum position; judging whether the maximum number of iterations is reached or not, and if not, continuing iteration; and if so, outputting a
global optimal quantum position, and mapping to obtain an optimal DOA
estimation value. According to the invention, higher direction finding precision, higher operation speed, better
array aperture expansion capability, coherent source measurement capability,
impact noise resistance and wider application environment are realized.
