The invention discloses a single-channel received RIS
direction of arrival estimation method, and relates to the technical field of
wireless sensing, and the method comprises the steps: mapping a space-time coding matrix into a
control signal, and loading the
control signal to periodically arranged electromagnetic units of an RIS, thereby carrying out the space-time coding modulation of an incident
signal, and forming a reflection
signal comprising angle information; receiving the reflected
signal by a single-channel receiving end and converting the reflected signal into
baseband data, performing
Fourier transform on the
baseband data to obtain a
frequency domain component, and constructing a plurality of virtual receiving channels; and constructing a
covariance matrix based on the signal of the virtual receiving channel, performing eigenvalue
decomposition on the
covariance matrix, constructing a
spatial spectrum function, and performing peak search on the
spatial spectrum function to obtain the
direction of arrival of the incident signal. The invention further discloses a single-channel receiving RIS
direction of arrival estimation system, high-precision direction of arrival
estimation under the single-channel receiving condition is achieved, and the
system has the advantages of being simple in
system structure, low in hardware cost, high in
algorithm resolution and high in anti-
noise capacity.
