Abstract

The invention provides a single dipole polarization sensitive array dimensionality reduction DOA estimation method in a multipath interference environment. The array employs single dipoles concurrent with the edge of a circumference to from a uniform circular array structure, can simultaneously perform azimuth angle and elevation angle two-dimensional estimation and can effectively fight multi-path interferences to realize mathematical modeling of narrowband signals received by a uniform circular array concurrent array; then according to a matrix rank loss principle, the four-dimensional spectral function of the polarization MUSIC (multiple signal classification) algorithm is subjected to dimensionality reduction processing to construct a spatial spectral function so as to realize the fast search of spatial two-dimensional angles. Compared with polarization sensitive array DOA and polarization parameter combined estimation methods, the dimensionality reduction DOA estimation method of the invention can realize rapid estimation of signal source angles under the condition of not increasing hardware demands, receive and utilize the polarization characteristics of signal sources and interference sources to effectively distinguish objects and interferences to realize object estimation in a complex environment and has a certain engineering application value.
