Problems solved by technology

However, these algorithms based on sparse representation usually assume that all the true DOA are located on a pre-set discretized grid, that is, the grid matching model, which leads to such algorithms when the DOA is not on the grid Estimated performance deteriorates sharply when running
On the other hand, although a denser grid can theoretically reduce the reconstruction error, too dense a discretized grid will make the over-complete dictionary atoms highly correlated

Abstract

The invention provides a far-field narrow-band DOA estimation method based on covariance matrix sparse representation. Based on the sparsity on a space domain in the wave arrival direction, a covariance matrix is changed into a sparse representation model, under a module with a matched gridding, a sparse space power spectrum is solved through an optimization minimization method, and the point, corresponding to a support set of the power spectrum, on the gridding is the wave arrival direction angle obtained through estimation. For the condition that the actual wave arrival direction angle is not on the gridding, namely under a model with the mismatched gridding, a first-order Taylor expansion method is adopted to approach the guide vector of the actual wave arrival direction angle, and then the point, obtained through estimation, on the gridding is corrected through a least-square method to achieve higher estimation accuracy. The far-field narrow-band DOA estimation method based on covariance matrix sparse representation can achieve high-accuracy DOA estimation performance on the rough gridding.
