Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of near-field signal positioning, and in particular to a three-dimensional near-field parameter estimation method based on quadratic correlation operation. Background Art

[0002] Near-field signal positioning is used in radar, sonar, wireless communication and other fields. As its application becomes more and more extensive, it has received widespread attention. At first, the near-field positioning algorithm was mainly to improve the far-field positioning algorithm and apply it to the near field. For example, the MUSIC algorithm based on the near field is simple to implement, but it involves multi-dimensional search and huge computational complexity. In recent years, many scholars have used some dimensionality reduction techniques to reduce multi-dimensional search to one-dimensional search, thereby improving computational efficiency, but the inherent high complexity of spectral peak search still exists. On the other hand, the near-field parameter estimation method based on quadratic correlation operation makes full use of the time domain information and spatial domain information of the signal, which can improve the estimation accuracy of the parameters, but the current space-time near-field parameter estimation method in three-dimensional scenes has problems such as high computational complexity and parameter pairing caused by multi-dimensional or multiple searches.
