Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of underwater acoustic signal processing, and in particular relates to a sparse direction finding method resistant to far and near field interference. Background Art

[0002] Underwater Unmanned Vehicle (UUV) array direction finding is an important research topic in current passive sonar signal processing. Unlike arrays equipped on ships, the small size of UUV makes it difficult to build a vibration-isolating and noise-reducing working environment for the array, which makes the array signal processing seriously affected by the strong near-field interference caused by the UUV maneuvers. Under the influence of strong near-field interference, the direction finding algorithm for far-field target signals has serious performance degradation at this time, which is specifically manifested in the decrease of angular resolution and direction finding accuracy, and multiple groups of pseudo peaks will appear in the far-field spatial spectrum. At the same time, when one of the far-field weak targets is the target of interest, the remaining far-field strong targets will appear as far-field strong interference and have an adverse effect on the detection of the weak target.

[0003] The current direction-finding methods can be mainly divided into maximum likelihood (ML), beamforming, subspace and sparse reconstruction. Under the condition of model adaptation, ML algorithms often have the results closest to the Cramér–Rao Bound (CRB), but their huge computational complexity will not meet the real-time processing requirements of UUV platforms. Conventional beamforming (CBF) is the most common beamforming method in the beamforming method. It is robust to various mismatch conditions and is widely used in sonar signal processing. Its defects are that it cannot break through the Rayleigh limit and cannot distinguish adjacent targets in the same beam. At the same time, strong interference components leaked by side lobes will also cover weak targets. The minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming algorithm has a good suppression effect on both near and far field strong interference, and has higher resolution than CBF. However, since MVDR is more sensitive to model mismatch, when there is a model mismatch, the performance of MVDR is seriously degraded. Subspace algorithms use the orthogonality of signal subspace and noise subspace to achieve high-resolution direction finding of target signals. However, in the UUV working environment, the received data contains far-field weak target signals, far-field and near-field interference signals, and ocean environmental noise. At this time, the basis of the signal subspace and the interference subspace will cross and overlap, and the signal subspace cannot be accurately estimated by eigenvalue decomposition. Compared with subspace algorithms, sparse reconstruction methods, beamforming algorithms and ML algorithms have higher angular resolution, but their sparse priors often need to be based on an over-complete dictionary set under ideal conditions. The strong near-field interference caused by the maneuvering of the UUV platform will lead to a dictionary set mismatch problem, that is, the basis in the far-field dictionary set matrix cannot accurately represent the near-field strong interference signal in the array received signal, resulting in an increase in fitting errors and a degradation of the far-field signal direction finding capability. In view of the above problems, the present invention proposes a sparse direction finding method that is resistant to far-field and near-field interference and is suitable for small platform sonar arrays. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems of low resolution probability and direction finding accuracy of far-field weak target signals under the existing far-field and near-field strong interference conditions, and to propose a sparse direction finding method suitable for underwater unmanned platform sonar arrays that is resistant to far-field and near-field interference.

[0005] A sparse direction finding method suitable for underwater unmanned platform sonar array with resistance to near and far field interference is described as follows:

[0006] Step 1: Determine the near-field region set based on the platform size and the correlation between the near-field and far-field steering vectors;

[0007] Step 2: Perform subspace projection processing on the data received by the receiving array to obtain the projection R of the covariance matrix in the signal interference subspace s ;

[0008] Step 3: Process the projection R of the covariance matrix in the signal interference subspace based on the sparse reconstruction method s , and get the direction finding result.

[0009] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0010] The purpose of the present invention is to construct a sparse representation model of the far-field and near-field joint, and reconstruct the covariance matrix of the far-field part and the near-field part of the received signal respectively, so as to achieve high-precision and high-resolution direction finding of far-field weak target signals under the conditions of strong interference between the far-field and near-field.

[0011] The present invention determines the range of the near-field dictionary set according to the platform size and the correlation between the far-field and near-field steering vectors; performs subspace projection processing on the received data to obtain the projection of the covariance matrix in the signal interference subspace; processes the projection of the covariance matrix in the signal interference subspace based on the sparse reconstruction method, and outputs the direction finding result;

[0012] The core technical content of the present invention is to use the sparse priors of far-field and near-field sound sources in the spatial domain to achieve the separation of far-field and near-field covariance matrices. On this basis, in order to solve the problem of large difference in power between interference and target signals, the subspace projection method is used to normalize each signal source.

[0013] The present invention is based on sparse reconstruction technology and utilizes the sparse priors of far-field and near-field sound sources in the spatial domain to separate far-field target signals from near-field interference signals, thereby reducing the impact of near-field interference caused by platform self-noise on far-field direction finding.

[0014] The present invention pre-processes the input covariance matrix based on the subspace projection technology and normalizes the power of each information source, thereby suppressing the interference of far and near field strengths at the same time.

[0015] The present invention constructs a direction finding method suitable for underwater small platform arrays, and realizes high-precision and high-resolution direction finding of far-field weak targets under finite array element conditions;

[0016] The present invention takes into account the influence of far-field interference and near-field interference caused by the self-noise of underwater unmanned platform maneuvers on the direction finding of far-field weak targets, combines sparse reconstruction and subspace method to suppress far-field and near-field interference, and improves the direction finding capability of far-field weak target signals in scenarios with strong far-field and near-field interference.

[0032] Step 14: Based on the set Ω 1 and the set Ω 2 Determine the near field region set.

[0033] The other steps and parameters are the same as those in the first embodiment.

[0034] Specific implementation method three: This implementation method is different from specific implementation methods one or two in that: in step one, the correlation between the far-field and near-field steering vectors is determined; the specific process is:

[0035] The receiving array is a uniform linear array (ULA), in which the uniform linear array is uniformly arranged by M array elements, the array element spacing is d = λ / 2, λ is the wavelength corresponding to the center frequency of the narrowband signal; M is 4≤M≤50; the center of the array is taken as the origin of the coordinate system, the bow direction of the platform is the positive direction of the horizontal axis, and the normal direction of the center of the array is taken as the positive direction of the vertical axis.

The variation trend of κ(α, β) is as follows: Figure 2 As shown in (a), contour lines are drawn for the positions where the κ values ​​are 0.6, 0.8, and 0.9. The sound source in the area where κ(α, β) < 0.9 is regarded as a near-field sound source, and the sound source in the area where κ(α, β) > 0.9 is considered to have characteristics closer to the far-field sound source and is not considered.
