Problems solved by technology

This method has the ability to estimate the number of signals that is more than the number of array elements, but the method still has the disadvantage that when the number of array elements is fixed, the number of signals that can be estimated sometimes still cannot meet the practical application
However, most of the existing angle-of-arrival estimation methods based on fourth-order cumulants are for uniform arrays, and for nested array algorithms, the maximum utilization of array elements cannot be achieved due to the lack of reasonable setting of array element positions.
In practical applications, given a certain number of array elements, if these array elements cannot be reasonably used to obtain enough virtual array elements, enough signals cannot be estimated, resulting in a waste of reconnaissance and positioning resources

Abstract

The invention discloses a nested array direction-of-arrival angle estimation method based on fourth-order cumulants, and mainly aims to solve the problem that the utilization rate of array elements is low and only a small number of signals are identified in the prior art. The method is implemented by the steps as follows: (1) building a one-layer nested array and a two-layer nested array; (2) acquiring the output signal of the one-layer nested array and the output signal of the two-layer nested array; (3) calculating all fourth-order cumulants according to the output signal of the one-layer nested array and the output signal of the two-layer nested array; (4) constructing a fourth-order cumulant matrix according to all the fourth-order cumulants; (5) calculating the noise subspace of the fourth-order cumulant matrix; (6) calculating the space spectrum according to the noise subspace of the fourth-order cumulant matrix and an array manifold matrix; and (7) drawing an amplitude spectrogram according to the space spectrum to get the direction-of-arrival angle. The number of signal sources identified by an array is increased greatly under a limited number of array elements. The method is suitable for target reconnaissance and passive location.
