针对双基地多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output,MIMO)雷达在色噪声环境中的收发角度估计问题,提出了一种基于改进四阶累积量的角度估计算法。该算法首先构造回波信号的四阶累积量矩阵,然后根据四阶累积量矩阵的形成规律,在保证虚拟阵列孔径有效扩展的前提下去除其中的冗余项,达到矩阵降维的目的。最后将降维后的矩阵特征分解得到噪声子空间,再利用四阶累积量的多重信号分类(multiple signal classification,MUSIC)算法实现最终的收发角度估计。所提算法不仅可以有效抑制高斯色噪声,并且能够减小四阶累积量矩阵的维数,降低计算的复杂度,仿真结果验证了该算法的有效性。
A 2D-direction of arrival estimation (DOAE) for multi input and multi-output (MIMO) radar using improved multiple temporal-spatial subspaces in estimating signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques method (TS-ESPRIT) is introduced. In order to realize the improved TS-ESPRIT, the proposed algorithm divides the planar array into multiple uniform sub-planar arrays with common reference point to get a unified phase shifts measurement point for all sub-arrays. The TS-ESPRIT is applied to each sub-array separately, and in the same time with the others to realize the parallelly temporal and spatial processing, so that it reduces the non-linearity effect of model and decreases the computational time. Then, the time difference of arrival (TDOA) technique is applied to combine the multiple sub-arrays in order to form the improved TS-ESPRIT. It is found that the proposed method achieves high accuracy at a low signal to noise ratio (SNR) with low computational complexity, leading to enhancement of the estimators performance.
