Two-phase coded signal parameter estimation method based on smoothing pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution

Abstract

The invention relates to a two-phase coded signal parameter estimation method based on smoothing pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution, and mainly solves the problem that the existing method cannot consider both low signal-to-noise ratio and low computational burden. The method comprises the implementation steps that 1) two-phase coded signals of 13-bit barker code sequence coding are generated; 2) FFT transformation is performed on the two-phase coded signals so that the power spectrum is solved; 3) smoothing is performed on the power spectrum and the signal carrier frequency is estimated according to 3dB bandwidth power spectrum centroid of the smoothed power spectrum; 4) smoothing pseudo-Wigner-Ville distribution transformation is performed on the two-phase coded signals so that the amplitude sequence of the carrier frequency can be obtained; 5) the signal code element width is obtained by searching amplitude sequence minimum negative peak spacing, and the number of sub-codes included in the adjacent negative peaks is computed; and 6) estimation of the code element sequence is obtained according to the position of the negative peaks and the number of the sub-codes. The estimate precision for the parameters of the two-phase coded signals can be enhanced under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio so that the computational burden can be reduced and the method can be used for accurate detection of the target.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of data processing, and in particular relates to a method for estimating parameters of bi-phase coded BPSK signals with smooth pseudo-Wigner distribution SPWVD, which can be used for accurate reconnaissance of targets in radars with low intercept probability. Background technique [0002] In order to reduce the average transmission power and reduce the probability of signal interception, low probability of interception radars usually use pulse compression signals with a large time-bandwidth product. Phase-encoded signal has become a commonly used pulse compression signal because of its high distance resolution and strong anti-reconnaissance and anti-jamming capabilities. Since the echo signal received by the radar is often submerged in a large noise background, it is of great practical significance how to quickly estimate the relevant parameters of the phase-encoded signal under low signal-to-noise ratio whe...

In this paper, it is proposed to perform double-thresholding on the result of STFT transformation of the signal Disruption point detection, although this method realizes the parameter estimation of BPSK signal under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio, but the estimation accuracy is low, and the pulses need to be accumulated during the estimation process, which requires a long processing time and a large amount of calculation
