Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of radar anti-interference, and in particular relates to a coherent source adaptive beamforming method based on coprime array interpolation. Background Art
[0002] Adaptive beamforming is a widely used technique in array signal processing, with applications in radar, sonar, wireless communications, and medical fields. It uses the received data to dynamically adjust weights to isolate the signal of interest and minimize interference and noise. Minimum variance distortionless response is a powerful adaptive beamforming technique that relies on precise knowledge of the desired signal and array configuration to provide high resolution and anti-interference performance. However, its performance degrades significantly when there is a mismatch in the steering vector of the signal of interest due to non-ideal factors such as viewing direction error and wavefront distortion. In addition, the performance degrades dramatically if the received data contains information about the SOI, which is inevitable in practical scenarios. Enhancing the robustness of adaptive beamformers has been the focus of extensive research over the past few decades.
[0003] In adaptive beamforming of coherent sources, multiple signal sources may generate the same or similar signals during transmission, which is particularly common in fields such as radar, sonar, and wireless communications. The signal similarity brought by coherent sources makes it difficult for traditional beamforming methods to distinguish these signals, thus affecting the accuracy and performance of signal processing. Therefore, the research on adaptive beamforming technology of coherent sources is particularly important. It can improve the system's resolution and anti-interference capabilities in environments with significant multipath effects or dense signal sources, and ensure reliable signal reception and processing. This is of great significance for improving the target recognition capability of radar systems, the underwater target detection capability of sonar systems, and the signal transmission quality of wireless communication systems. Therefore, the research on adaptive beamforming technology in coherent source environments can not only overcome the limitations of traditional methods, but also further expand its application scope in complex signal environments.
[0004] The existing adaptive beamforming algorithm cannot effectively solve the problem of coherent interference sources: (1) Diagonal loading method: By adding constants to the diagonal of the covariance matrix to improve the stability and robustness of the beamforming algorithm. However, in the coherent source environment, the loaded diagonal terms may not be sufficient to separate the coherent signals, resulting in performance degradation. This is because diagonal loading cannot effectively distinguish multiple coherent signals, and thus cannot completely eliminate the interference between coherent sources. (2) Eigenstructure-based method: The eigendecomposition information of the covariance matrix is used to enhance the performance of beamforming and suppress interference. In the face of coherent sources, eigenvalue decomposition may fail because coherent sources make the eigenvalue spectrum of the covariance matrix difficult to distinguish, making it impossible for the algorithm to accurately extract and separate the characteristic information of the coherent signal. (3) Uncertainty set-based method: Consider array errors and uncertainties in the beamforming process, and improve the robustness of the algorithm by optimizing the uncertainty set. However, for coherent sources, the error and uncertainty models are difficult to accurately describe the signal characteristics because the high correlation between coherent signals will cause the uncertainty model to fail, thus affecting the effect of beamforming. (4) Method based on covariance matrix reconstruction: The estimation error and noise influence are reduced by reconstructing the covariance matrix to enhance the accuracy of beamforming. However, coherent sources will make the reconstruction of the covariance matrix inaccurate, because the coherent signal will cause strong correlation in the matrix, making it difficult to effectively separate and suppress the coherent signal during the reconstruction process. Faced with the challenge of coherent sources, existing adaptive beamforming methods may encounter significant performance degradation in practical applications. In order to overcome these problems, further research and development of new beamforming technologies that can effectively process coherent signals is needed.
[0005] The present invention is a coherent source adaptive beamforming method based on coprime array interpolation, which is applicable to interference source scenarios. The method utilizes the decoherence of a diagonal matrix and the Vandermonde decomposition property of the Teplitz matrix to effectively separate the coherent source interference and the target signal, and at the same time improves the robustness of the method by reconstructing the interference and noise covariance matrix. The method can effectively solve the problem of target signal energy leakage caused by coherent source interference, and also has high practical value for applications such as wireless signal reception. Summary of the invention
