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 aimed at uniform arrays, a

Abstract

The invention discloses a fourth-order cumulant based co-prime array DOA (Direction of Arrival) angle estimation method, which mainly solves problems in the prior art that the utilization rate of array elements is low and that the signal identification number is small. The estimation method comprises the implementation steps of 1) respectively building a one-layer co-prime array and a two-layer co-prime array; 2) acquiring an output signal of the one-layer co-prime array and an output signal of the two-layer co-prime array; 3) calculating all fourth-order cumulants according to the output signal of the one-layer co-prime array and the output signal of the two-layer co-prime array; 4) constructing a fourth-order cumulant array according to all of the fourth-order cumulants; 5) calculating a noise sub-space of the fourth-order cumulant array; 6) calculating a spatial spectrum according to the noise sub-space of the fourth-order cumulants and an array manifold matrix; and 7) drawing an amplitude spectrum according to the spatial spectrum, and acquiring a DOA angle. The estimation method disclosed by the invention greatly improves the recognizable source number of an array under the condition that the number of array elements is limited, and is applicable to target reconnaissance and passive location.
