Problems solved by technology

[0003] Although the traditional beamforming method can form a high gain in the required direction, it does not have the function of suppressing the interference signal; in the 1960s, the minimum variance distortion-free response (MVDR) beamformer proposed by Capon was deduced through the theory The method of calculating the adaptive weight of the array based on the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix, thus forming a response null in the interference direction while ensuring the gain of the signal in the desired direction, theoretically can effectively suppress the interference signal; The sampled matrix inversion (SMI) beamformer, which uses the received signal sampling covariance matrix instead of the theoretical interference plus noise covariance matrix, can adaptively suppress interference according to the received signal of the array antenna, and is a classic adaptive beamformer.
[0004] The current research on beamforming methods mainly focuses on the case where the sampling covariance matrix of the received signal contains expected signal components. When considering the array amplitude and phase errors, signal observation errors and array calibration errors in actual engineering, the expectation in the sampling covariance matrix The existence of signal components makes the adaptive weights to be solved produce a destructive response to the desired signal, which leads to a significant decline in the performance of the adaptive beamformer; in response to this problem, Vorobyov proposed the optimal equation based on the elliptic uncertain set optimization equation in 2003. The poor performance optimization method, to a certain extent, reduces the influence of the expected signal component in the sampling covariance matrix on the performance of the adaptive beamformer. However, the performance of this method is affected by the prior parameters, and the signal with high signal-to-noise ratio Poor performance in the environment
In 2012, Gu et al. proposed a method for reconstructing the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix based on curve integration. Although this method can better eliminate the desired signal component in the sampling covariance matrix, it is not accurate enough for the angle estimation of the interference signal. , and the integral operation of a large area causes a large time calculation complexity, which makes the application range of this method in practical engineering limited

Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of array signal processing and discloses a self-adaptive beamforming method based on interference and noise covariance matrix reconstruction. The self-adaptive beamforming method comprises the steps that a uniform linear array is established and is used for detecting far-field narrow-band signals including one desired signal to be detected and Q-1 interference signals to obtain receiving signals; the receiving signals are sampled to obtain K receiving signal samples, a sample matrix is formed, and an interference and noise sampling covariance matrix of the sample matrix is calculated; a weighting matrix is constructed, and the interference and noise sampling covariance matrix is weighted to obtain a weighted covariance matrix; a sampling matrix is constructed, and further a first interference and noise covariance matrix is constructed; the first interference and noise covariance matrix is weighted again according to the weighting matrix to obtain a second interference and noise covariance matrix; the self-adaptive weight vector of a self-adaptive beamformer is calculated according to the second interference and noise covariance matrix; the calculating amount can be decreased on the basis that a detection effect of desired signals is ensured.
