Direction of arrival estimation method for coprime arrays based on singular value decomposition of multi-sampled virtual signals

Abstract

The invention discloses a co-prime array direction-of-arrival estimation method based on singular value decomposition of multiple sampling virtual signals, which mainly solves a problem of difficult solving caused by information loss existing in the process of virtual domain statistical signal processing and the non-uniformity of an equivalent virtual array in the prior art. Implementation of theco-prime array direction-of-arrival estimation method comprises the steps of structuring a receiving terminal antenna according to a co-prime array structure; receiving an incident signal by using theco-prime array and modeling; constructing multiple sampling virtual signals; performing dimension reduction processing on the multiple sampling virtual signals through singular value decomposition; designing a convex optimization problem based on a joint constraint of an L1-norm and an L2-norm of the multiple sampling virtual signals, and solving the convex optimization problem; and obtaining a direction-of-arrival estimation result through spectrum peak searching. The co-prime array direction-of-arrival estimation method sufficiently utilizes all information of the received signal of the co-prime array, overcomes the problem of difficult solving caused by the non-uniformity of the equivalent virtual array, improves the degree of freedom of direction-of-arrival estimation and can be applied to passive positioning and target detection.
