Problems solved by technology

However, the virtual array derived from the coprime array is a non-uniform array, which leads to the fact that many existing signal processing methods based on uniform linear arrays cannot be directly applied to the equivalent received signal of the virtual array to achieve DOA estimation.
A commonly used solution to DOA estimation methods using coprime arrays is to use only the continuous virtual array elements contained in the virtual array to perform DOA estimation, but this results in the loss of some original information and the reduction of related estimation performance.

[0061] Simulation example 1: A coprime array is used to receive incident signals, and the parameters are selected as M=3, N=5, that is, the coprime array of the structure contains M+N-1=7 physical array elements in total, and the array aperture is 12d. Assume that there are 11 incoherent narrowband plane wave incident signals uniformly distributed in the spatial angle range of -50° to 50°, the signal-to-noise ratio is set to 0dB, the number of sampling snapshots is T = 500, and the regularization parameter μ is set to 0.25.

It can be seen that the method proposed in the present invention can realize the effective resolution of the 11 incident signal sources by only using 7 physical array elem...

[0063] Simulation example 2: Use a coprime array to receive incident signals, and its parameters are also selected as M=3, N=5, that is, the coprime array of the structure contains M+N-1=7 physical antenna elements; assuming that there is a remote Field narrow-band incident signal, the direction is randomly generated and satisfies the standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 degrees and a variance of 1 degree. The method proposed in the present invention will be compared with the sparse signal reconstruction method, the spatial smoothing covariance matrix multiple signal classification method and the multiple signal classification method using a uniform linear array. The root mean square error of each method varies with the signal-to-noise ratio and the number of sampling snapshots as follows: Figure 5 , Figure 6 shown, where Figure 5 Take the number of sampling snapshots as 500, Figure 6 Take the signal-to-noise ratio as 10dB. For the sparse signal reconstruction...
