摘要:

提出一种适用于色噪声背景下窄带信号的波达方向估计方法. 假设未知色噪声协方差矩阵具有对称的Toeplitz结构,利用线性变换改变阵列协方差矩阵,并与阵列协方差相减,理论上消除了噪声对算法估计性能的影响. 新差分算法适用于信号不相干或仅有2个信号相干的波达方向估计. 当相干信号多于2个时,通过与空间平滑算法结合,拓展了算法的应用范围. 与传统差分算法相比,新算法避免了“伪”波达方向估计,降低了计算复杂度. 仿真实验结果表明,新算法具有优越的估计性能.

Abstract:

A modified covariance differencing method is proposed to the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation of narrowband signals under a colored noise environment. The covariance matrix of received data is transformed in a linear way. The noise component is eliminated finally by assuming a symmetric Toeplitz matrix for the unknown array noise. The covariance differencing algorithm works well when impinging signals are uncorrelated or just two signals are coherent. The proposed approach combined with spatial smoothing technique is further investigated in the case that coherent signals are more than two. Analysis shows that new approach can avoid generating “phantom” angles while providing accurate DOA estimation. Therefore the proposed method operates at a lower computational complexity compared with conventional methods. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of presented algorithm.
