Joint estimation method for azimuth angle and elevation angle of signal on basis of L-type sensor array

Abstract

The invention discloses a joint estimation method for an azimuth angle and an elevation angle of a signal on the basis of an L-type sensor array. The joint estimation method is used for estimating a direction of arrival of an incidence signal emitted onto the L-type sensor array, wherein the L-type sensor array is placed on an x-z plane and is provided with two mutually vertical uniform linear arrays, and M omnidirectional sensors are equidistantly arranged in different spatial positions along a straight line on each of the uniform linear arrays. The joint estimation method is characterized by comprising the following steps: (1) estimating a covariance matrix of signals received by two rows of uniform linear arrays on x axis and z axis, and then obtaining an M*2M expanding cross covariance matrix by calculating according to the covariance matrix of the signals received by the two rows of uniform linear arrays; (2) cutting the uniform linear array on the z axis or x axis into two rows of non-coincident forward / backward sub-arrays, and then estimating the elevation angle by utilizing the expanding cross covariance matrix of data received by the two rows of uniform linear arrays according to a linear operation one-dimensional subspace method; and (3) estimating a corresponding azimuth angle by linearly operating by utilizing feasible regions of the azimuth angle and the elevation angle, the two rows of sub-arrays on the z axis or x axis and the cross covariance between one of the sub-array and the uniform linear array on the x axis or z axis.
