基于相关比幅测向的圆阵干涉仪解模糊算法

针对比幅测向精度较低而干涉仪测向相位易模糊这一问题,提出了一种基于多波束比幅测向的圆阵相关干涉仪解模糊改进算法,实现对小型无人机方位的快速估计。首先,根据目标无人机的图传信号特征值建立离线数据库,利用改进的多波束相关比幅法对无人机来波方向进行粗略测量,通过二次插值法对“栅栏效应”造成的估计偏差进行一定修正;然后,将修正后的角度测量值对干涉仪实测相位差进行解模糊;最后,利用无模糊的相位差通过相关运算实现来波方向的精确估计。该算法将相关运算运用在比幅测向中,有效提高了干涉仪解模糊概率。与传统的比幅测向法和干涉仪测向法相比,该算法只需3组天线就能完成测向功能,其测向精度提高至2°以内,并且该算法对天线一致性要求低,实时性高,可实际应用于圆形阵列测向体制,实现对无人机的快速测向。     

Complex-valued ICA utilizing signal-subspace demixing for robust DOA estimation and blind signal separation

This paper deals with direction of arrival (DOA) estimation and blind signal separation (BSS) based on independent component analysis (ICA) with robust capabilities. An efficient demixing procedure of complex-valued ICA is presented here, which combines the signal-subspace demixing procedure exploiting individual signal-subspace projection and Newton’s iteration algorithm based on maximization of the approximate negentropy of non-Gaussian signal for array signal processing. It resolves the problems of order ambiguity and identifiability of traditional ICA for time-domain BSS. The proposed method could be directly applied to radar, sonar, radio surveillance, and communications systems for separating signals and estimating relative DOAs of signals. Several computer simulation examples for perturbations to the array manifold, unknown noise environments, and Rayleigh fading channel are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.     

256×256 focal plane array midwavelength infrared camera based on InAs/GaSb short-period superlattices

An infrared camera based on a 256×256 focal plane array (FPA) for the second atmospheric window (3–5 μm) has been realized for the first time with InAs/GaSb short period superlattices (SLs). The SL detector structure with a broken gap type-II band alignment was grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaSb substrates. Effective bandgap and strain in the superlattice were adjusted by varying the thickness of the InAs and GaSb layers and the controlled formation of InSb-like bonds at the interfaces. The FPAs were processed in a full wafer process using optical lithography, chemical-assisted ion beam etching, and conventional metallization technology. The FPAs were flip-chip bonded using indium solder bumps with a read-out integrated circuit and mounted into an integrated detector cooler assembly. The FPAs with a cut-off wavelength of 5.4 μm exhibit quantum efficiencies of 30% and detectivity values exceeding 10¹³ Jones at T=77 K. A noise equivalent temperature difference (NETD) of 11.1 mK was measured for an integration time of 5 ms using f/2 optics. The NETD scales inversely proportional to the square root of the integration time between 5 ms and 1 ms, revealing background limited performance. Excellent thermal images with low NETD values and a very good modulation transfer function demonstrate the high potential of this material system for the fabrication of future thermal imaging systems.     

Computationally efficient direction-of-arrival estimation of non-circular signal based on subspace rotation technique

In order to solve the problem that the high computational burden of the multiple signal classification algorithm of non-circular signal (NC-MUSIC) in direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation,a novel computationally efficient DOA estimation algorithm based on subspace rotation technique was proposed.Firstly,the partitioning of noise subspace matrix and the subspace rotation technique (SRT) were used to construct a new reduced-dimension noise subspace.Then,the two-dimensional peak searching was converted to the one-dimensional peak searching on the basis of the separation of variables and the orthogonality between the new reduced-dimension noise subspace and the space spanned by the columns of the extended manifold matrix.The proposed algorithm can enhance the computational efficiency by means of the conversion of the two-dimensional peak searching into the one-dimensional peak searching and the removal of redundant computations.Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the computational complexity to less than 5% as compared to NC-MUSIC algorithm on the premise of ensuring the accuracy of DOA estimation.Especially,the efficiency advantage of the proposed algorithm is more obvious in scenarios where the large numbers of sensors are required.
