Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of radar signal processing, and in particular to a near-field polarization MIMO radar parameter estimation method based on parallel factor decomposition. Background Art

[0002] MIMO radar parameter estimation is a current research hotspot and a challenge. Compared to phased array radars, MIMO radars can achieve higher angular resolution, greater array freedom, and flexible transmit waveform design by leveraging mutually orthogonal waveform characteristics. In recent years, numerous excellent algorithms have been proposed for joint parameter estimation of transmit and receive angles in bistatic MIMO radars. Although these algorithms can accurately locate target parameters in various backgrounds, the transmit and receive arrays used are either scalar uniform or non-uniform, and the target sources are mostly far-field. Compared to scalar arrays, polarimetric arrays provide not only target angle information but also polarization information. Therefore, polarimetric arrays offer higher target resolution and parameter estimation capabilities. Furthermore, when targets are located in the near-field of the MIMO radar's radiation, the nonlinearity of the signal wavefront representation means that directly applying far-field source direction-finding algorithms will result in significant estimation errors due to model mismatch. Currently, no multidimensional parameter estimation algorithms for MIMO radars that utilize polarimetric information have been proposed for near-field scenarios. Summary of the Invention

Therefore, the above terms should not be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0033] The present invention relates to a near-field polarization MIMO radar parameter estimation method based on parallel factor decomposition, which specifically comprises:

[0034] S1. First, establish a system model of a bistatic MIMO radar based on a uniform linear array of crossed dipole-magnetic loop antennas. The transmitting end is a uniform linear transmitting array composed of 2M+1 crossed dipole-magnetic loop antennas, and the receiving end is a uniform linear receiving array composed of 2N+1 crossed dipole-magnetic loop antennas. The spacing between the transmitting array elements and the receiving array elements is represented by dt and dr respectively, and they satisfy dt,dr≤λ / 2, where λ is the wavelength of the electromagnetic wave. The center of the transmitting array and the receiving array is taken as the reference point O, as shown in the following example: Figure 1 The figure shows a schematic diagram of a bistatic cross-dipole-magnetic loop antenna uniform linear array MIMO radar;

[0035] S2, assuming that K uncorrelated near-field narrowband fully polarized targets in the yoz plane are located, the two-dimensional transmission angle and two-dimensional receiving angle of the k-th target are represented by θ tk and θ rk It means that 2M+1 transmitting elements simultaneously transmit 2M+1 orthogonal signals at the transmitting end. When they encounter the target, they are reflected to form echoes received by the receiving elements. Assuming that within the same signal period, the target's Radar Cross Set (RCS) remains constant, the RCS fluctuations of different targets are uncorrelated, and the fluctuation statistics within different pulse times are also independent of each other;

[0036] S3. During the first snapshot, the received data is expressed as

[0037]

[0038] Where,

[0039] A r (θ rk ,ρ rk ,r rk ,η rk )=[a r (θ r1 ,ρ r1 ,r r1 ,η r1 ),…a r (θ rk ,ρ rk ,r rk ,η rk )] (2)

[0040] A t (θ tk ,ρ tk ,r tk ,η tk )=[a t (θ t1 ,ρ t1 ,r t1 ,ηt1 ),…a t (θ tk ,ρ tk ,r tk ,η tk )] (3)

[0041]

[0042]

[0043] Among them, a t (θ tk ,ρ tk ,r tk ,η tk ) is the launch array steering vector of the kth target, expressed as

[0044]

[0045] Among them, q tk (θ tk ,ρ tk ) is the transmission signal steering vector of the kth target, expressed as:

[0047] Where, λ is the signal wavelength;

[0048] V t (r t ,η t ) is the spatial response of the transmitting array, expressed as

[0049] V t (r t ,η t )=[v t1 (r t1 ,η t1 ),…,v tk (r tk ,η tk )] (8)

[0050] Then v tk (r tk ,η tk ) is the spatial response of the transmitted signal, expressed as

[0051]

[0052] a r (θ rk ,ρ rk ,r rk ,η rk) is the receiving array steering vector of the kth target, expressed as

[0053]

[0054] Among them, q rk (θ rk ,ρ rk ) is the received signal steering vector of the kth target, expressed as

[0055]

[0056] Where, λ is the signal wavelength;

[0057] V r (r r ,η r ) is the spatial response of the receiving array, expressed as:

[0058] V r (r r ,η r )=[v r1 (r r1 ,η r1 ),…,v rk (r rk ,η rk )] (12)

[0059] Then, v rk (r rk ,η rk ) is the spatial response of the received signal, which can be expressed as:

[0060]

[0061] is the scattering coefficient of the kth target, expressed as Among them, β k , f dk , t l They represent the target’s echo area, Doppler shift and slow time respectively;

[0062] s m ∈c 1×p represents the symbol sequence of length p transmitted by the mth transmitting array in one snapshot, m=-M,...,-1,0,1,...M; assuming Mutually orthogonal, for any m≠n, we have:

[0063] Z (l) is the noise matrix, which is independent and identically distributed Gaussian white noise with a mean of 0;

[0064] S4, the received signal is transmitted through the transmitting signal s m (m=-M,…,-1,0,1,…,M) filtering, then the output signal matrix can be expressed as

[0065] y (l) =(Q t ⊙V t ⊙Q r ⊙V r )b (l) +n (l) (14)

[0066] Where, is the filtered noise vector;

[0067] S5. Considering L snapshots, the output signal matrix of the matched filter at the receiving end can be expressed as:

[0068] Y=(Q t ⊙V t ⊙Q r ⊙V r )B+N (15)

[0069] Among them, Q t is the transmission signal steering vector, denoted as Q t =[q t1 ,…,q tk ],q tk represents the transmission signal steering vector of the kth target; Q r is the received signal steering vector, denoted as Q r =[q r1 ,…,q rk ],q rk V represents the received signal steering vector of the kth target; t is the spatial response of the transmit array, denoted as V t (r t ,η t )=[v t1 (r t1 ,η t1 ),…,v tk (r tk ,η tk )],v tk (r tk ,η tk ) is the spatial response of the transmitted signal of the kth target, expressed as V r is the spatial response of the receiving array, V r (r r ,η r )=[v r1 (r r1 ,ηr1 ),…,v rk (r rk ,η rk )],v rk (r rk ,η rk ) is the spatial response of the received signal of the kth target, expressed as B=[b (1) ,…,b (L) ],in and The scattering coefficient of the kth target is expressed as N=[n (1) ,…,n (L) ],in is the filtered noise vector;

[0070] From the above formula, we can see that Y can be regarded as a fifth-order PARAFAC tensor decomposition model, so Y can be expressed as follows:

[0071]

[0072] Among them, Γ 5,K×1 It is a symbolic representation without specific meaning; is the tensor form of N; Q t×2 ,V t×3 ,Q r×4 ,V r×5 With the above Q t ,V t ,Q r ,V r Meaning the same; B = [b (1) ,…,b (L) ],in and The scattering coefficient of the kth target can be expressed as

[0073] S6. Considering that there is a relatively mature fast algorithm for the third-order PARAFAC decomposition model, the complex parallel factor decomposition (COMFAC), this algorithm considers converting the above-mentioned fifth-order parallel factor model into a third-order PARAFAC model. According to the definition of PARAFAC model rearrangement, let O1 = {1, 2}, O2 = {3, 4}, O3 = {5}, then Y can be rearranged into a third-order PARAFAC tensor decomposition model:

[0074]

[0075] Among them, Γ 3,K×1 It is just a symbol, without any specific meaning; A t×2 ,Ar×3 and A in formula (1) t , A r Same meaning; is the tensor form of N; B=[b (1) ,…,b (L) ],in and The scattering coefficient of the kth target can be expressed as

[0076] According to the definition of parallel factor modulo n matrix expansion, the modulo n matrix expansion of Y is

[0077]

[0078]

[0079] Y3=(A t ⊙A r )B T (20)

[0080] Use estimated value Alternative theoretical value Y n , then the PARAFAC decomposition of the tensor Y can be completed through joint optimization:

[0081]

[0082]

[0083]

[0084] For this type of optimization problem, the trilinear alternating least squares algorithm is generally used. Its basic idea is to assume that A t ,A r ,B, any two are known, then one matrix can be updated in each step, that is, for the remaining matrices, according to the results of the previous estimation, the least squares method is used to update them, and the other matrices are updated, and the above steps are repeated until the algorithm converges. t ,A r , the least squares estimates of B are

[0085]

[0086]

[0087]

[0088] in, Represents the matrix pseudo-inverse. Since the alternating least squares algorithm is sensitive to the initial value, this algorithm uses the COMFAC algorithm to speed up the convergence;

[0089] S7. When PARAFAC decomposition is completed, A t ,A r and the estimated values of B, respectively, are denoted as and Its column fuzziness and scale fuzziness can be expressed as:

[0090]

[0091]

[0092]

[0093] Where Π is a permutation matrix, Δ1, Δ2 and Δ3 are the corresponding scale fuzzy matrices, all of which are diagonal matrices, and Δ1Δ2Δ3 = Ι, N1, N2 and N3 are error matrices;

[0094] S8, let J t1 =[Ι 2M ,0 2M ], J t2 =[0 2M ,I 2M ], where I 2M is the identity matrix of 2M×2M, 0 2M is a 2M×2M zero matrix, then the transmit array steering vector Q t satisfy

[0095] J t2 Q t =J t1 Q t Ψ t (30)

[0096] Because A t =Q t ⊙V t , so we can get

[0097]

[0098] Where Ι2 is the 2×2 dimensional identity matrix, A t is the steering vector of the transmitting array;

[0099] Ignoring the error term in equation (27), we can obtain from equations (27) and (31):

[0100]

[0101] in, A is obtained by using the COMFAC algorithm tThe estimated value of ; Π is a permutation matrix, Δ1 is the scale fuzzy matrix, which is a diagonal matrix;

[0102] S9, command From formula (32), we can get

[0103]

[0104] right Performing eigendecomposition, we can get the eigenvector and eigenvalue as P respectively. t =[o t1 ,o t2 ,…,o tK ], R t =diag{λ t1 ,λ t2 ,…λ tK}; From formula (33), we can see that the estimated value of Π is

[0105]

[0106] Among them, round{·} is a rounding function. Re{P t} means taking P t The real part of

[0107] S10, so we get V t The estimated value is

[0108]

[0109] in, Indicated by The submatrix consisting of the 2m-1th row to the 2mth row;

[0110] Then the polarization parameters of the transmitting array of the kth target can be calculated by the following two formulas:

[0111]

[0112]

[0113] in, express The element in the second row and k column of express The element in the first row and k column of ;

[0114] S11. Due to So we get

[0115]

[0116] Among them, unvec(·) is a matrix operator, which is the inverse operation of vec(·);

[0117] S12, order in is a permutation matrix with all elements on the diagonal being 1 and all other elements being 0, so

[0118]

[0119] From the above formula, we can get

[0120]

[0121] w tk The estimated value of can be calculated by the following formula

[0122]

[0123] Then the two-dimensional emission angle of the kth target is

[0124]

[0125] S13, From formula (27) and formula (28), we can know that and With the same permutation matrix, we can calculate

[0126]

[0127] It can be further calculated that

[0128]

[0129] Among them, J r1 =[Ι 2N ,0 2N ], J r2 =[0 2N ,I 2N ], I 2N is the 2N×2N identity matrix, 0 2N is a 2N×2N zero matrix; then we can get

[0130]

[0131] Among them, Δ2 is the scale fuzzy matrix, which is a diagonal matrix, Ψ r is a K×K dimensional matrix;

[0132] make From the formula we can get

[0133]

[0134] So we get Vr The estimated value is

[0135]

[0136] Then the receiving array polarization parameters of the kth target can be calculated by the following two formulas:

[0137]

[0138]

[0139] because So we get

[0140]

[0141] where unvec(·) is a matrix operator, which is the inverse operation of vec(·);

[0142] make in is a permutation matrix with all elements on the diagonal being 1 and all other elements being 0, so

[0143]

[0144] From the above formula, we can get

[0145]

[0146] w rk The estimated value of can be calculated by the following formula

[0147]

[0148] Then the two-dimensional acceptance angle of the kth target is

[0149]

[0150] according to Figure 1 From the geometric relationship of the schematic diagram of the bistatic cross-dipole-magnetic ring antenna uniform linear array MIMO radar shown in the figure, it can be seen that the position of the kth target is

[0151]
