Embodiment Construction

[0024] The content of the present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0025] Take the incident signal frequency 20GHz, the total number of array elements N=17 as an example, for the bilateral sparse nested array of the present invention (such as figure 1 shown) build is described in detail.

[0026] Step 1, determine the distance basic unit length:

[0027] Calculate the incident signal wavelength λ=c / f=3.0×10 8 / 20×10 9 =1.5cm; use d to represent the basic unit of array element spacing, and take it as half wavelength, that is, d=λ / 2=7.5mm;

[0028] Step 2, determine the array parameters:

[0029] According to the total number of array elements given by the array N=17 and N=N 1 +N 2 +1, choose a set of N 1 and N 2 , satisfying N 1 ≥10,N 2 ≥1; this embodiment selects N 1 =14,N 2 =2, the structure is as figure 2 shown;

[0030] Step 3, according to N 1 Calculate the array element spacing param...

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for designing a bilateral sparse nested array for direction of arrival estimation. On the basis of the existing nested structure, the method ensures the accuracy of the differential virtual array by implementing a sparse layout of the bilateral subarrays. Porosity, and then obtain the improvement of the degree of freedom, the implementation steps are: calculate the basic unit of the array element spacing, determine the array element spacing, the number of array elements and the array element spacing parameters of the middle uniform line sub-array, and determine the array element spacing according to the analytical formula physical location. The invention can effectively increase the degree of freedom of the differential virtual array under the premise of keeping the number of array elements constant, and realize high-precision target detection and orientation estimation.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to sparse optimal array arrangement, specifically, relates to a sparse array optimal layout and design method suitable for radar phased array direction of arrival estimation, which can be used for passive sparse array target detection and azimuth estimation, while ensuring the use of the same number In the case of array elements, the virtual aperture is improved by optimizing the layout of the array elements, thereby improving the accuracy of target azimuth estimation. Background technique [0002] Sparse array is an array layout method that uses a smaller number of sensors to obtain the same or greater degrees of freedom as traditional phased arrays, and thus has stronger space detection capabilities and target orientation estimation accuracy. The sparse array calculates the covariance of the received signals of each array element, and then vectorizes the covariance matrix to obtain an equivalent virtual phased array. Th...
