Off‐grid DoA estimation method of wideband signals

In this paper, an off‐grid direction of arrival (DoA) estimation method is proposed for wideband signals. This method is based on the sparse representation (SR) of the array covariance matrix. Similar to the time domain DoA estimation methods, the correlation function of the sources was assumed to be the same and known. A new measurement vector is obtained using the lower‐left triangular elements of the covariance matrix. The DoAs are estimated by quantizing the entire range of continuous angle space into discrete grid points. However, the exact DoAs may be located between two grid points; therefore, this estimation has errors. The accuracy of DoA estimation is improved by the minimization of the difference between the new measurement vector and its estimated values. Simulation results revealed that the proposed method can enhance the DoA estimation accuracy of wideband signals.     

Nonuniform linear array DOA estimation using EM criterion

In this letter, we address the problem of Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation with nonuniform linear array in the context of sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) framework. The nonuniform array output is deemed as an incomplete-data observation, and a hypothetical uniform linear array output is treated as an unavailable complete-data observation. Then the Expectation-Maximization (EM) criterion is directly utilized to iteratively maximize the expected value of the complete-data log likelihood under the posterior distribution of the latent variable. The novelties of the proposed method lie in its capability of interpolating the actual received data to a virtual uniform linear array, therefore extending the achievable array aperture. Simulation results manifests the superiority of the proposed method over off-the-shelf algorithms, specially on circumstances such as low SNR, insufficient snapshots, and spatially adjacent sources.

Effective DOA Estimation Under Low Signal-to-Noise Ratio Based on Multi-Source Information Meta Fusion

Efficiently performing high-resolution direction of arrival (DOA) estimation under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions has always been a challenge task in the literatures. Obvi-ously, in order to address this problem, the key is how to mine or reveal as much DOA related in-formation as possible from the degraded array outputs. However, it is certain that there is no per-fect solution for low SNR DOA estimation designed in the way of winner-takes-all. Therefore, this paper proposes to explore in depth the complementary DOA related information that exists in spa-tial spectrums acquired by different basic DOA estimators. Specifically, these basic spatial spec-trums are employed as the input of multi-source information fusion model. And the multi-source in-formation fusion model is composed of three heterogeneous meta learning machines, namely neural networks (NN), support vector machine (SVM), and random forests (RF). The final meta-spec-trum can be obtained by performing a final decision-making method. Experimental results illus-trate that the proposed information fusion based DOA estimation method can really make full use of the complementary information in the spatial spectrums obtained by different basic DOA estim-ators. Even under low SNR conditions, promising DOA estimation performance can be achieved.     

基于接收信号强度的非视距检测与修正算法

为了减少非视距（NLOS）误差对基于到达时间（TOA）的无线定位系统性能的影响,本文提出一种采用接收信号强度（RSS）与TOA测量值相结合的方法对含有NLOS误差的TOA测量值进行检测并修正。在视距（LOS）传播的TOA与RSS之间关系已知的前提下,利用定位基站得到的TOA与RSS测量值,计算TOA测量值中含有NLOS误差的可能性,并利用该可能性对TOA测量值进行修正。该方法在不增加通信次数的情况下,大大提高了定位精度。本文最后在一个无线定位系统上实现了该算法,并进行了对比实验。实验结果表明,该算法不需对多次定位结果进行统计,即可有效降低NLOS误差对系统性能的影响,适用于对功耗要求苛刻的场合。

压缩感知算法在阵列测向中的相干信号分辨

现有算法在进行信号重建时,需要原始信号的稀疏信息来控制初始原子集的大小和算法迭代的最大次数,这削弱了重建精度,增加了计算复杂度,限制了其实际应用能力。为了克服这个问题,提出了基于正交匹配追踪算法的改进算法。该算法将阵元个数作为假设稀疏度,在稀疏度未知的初始阶段扩展初始原子集。最后通过对测量信号的幅度进行阈值过滤以实现信号的分辨和信源数的估计。为解决测向人员面对监测软件所指示的多个信号示向度中,无法分辨哪些指示方向是同一个信号源所产生的折反射信号的问题,首次提出了基于压缩感知算法的相干关系分析和相干信号分辨的模型。实测数据结果表明,该算法在不同环境下可以清晰分辨相干信号,并且能够适应多种实验平台。
