Abstract

The invention discloses a guide vector correlation and local focusing combined angle measurement method, and the method can improve the angle measurement performances and reduce the calculation burden. The method comprises the following steps: receiving a signal through an array antenna, and constructing a received signal guide vector through a phase difference measurement value of the received signal; dividing primary search grid points at a set second step in an angle measurement range of the antenna array, carrying out the correlation matching search of the received signal guide vector anda local reference signal guide vector corresponding to the primary search grid point at each primary search grid point, and obtaining an initial estimation value of angle measurement; taking the initial estimation value of angle measurement as the center, setting an angle search range, carrying out the dividing at a set second step to obtain secondary search grid points, carrying out the correlation matching search of the received signal guide vector and a local reference signal guide vector corresponding to the secondary search grid point at each secondary search grid point, and obtaining a final estimation value of angle measurement, wherein the set second step is shorter than the set first step.
