Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of positioning technology, and in particular relates to a robust delay estimation method based on signal cyclostationary characteristics. Background Art

[0002] In the multi-station passive positioning system, according to the dependent measurement parameters, it can be further divided into direction finding cross positioning technology, arrival time difference passive positioning technology, arrival frequency difference passive positioning technology and combined positioning methods covering the above parameters. As a core branch of multi-station passive positioning, arrival time difference passive positioning technology has been widely studied by many scholars due to its high positioning accuracy and long range. Its basic principle is to estimate the time difference between the target radiation source signal arriving at multiple receiving stations and solve the location information of the target radiation source. The accuracy of time difference positioning is affected by multiple factors, among which the estimation accuracy of arrival time difference is one of the primary factors affecting positioning accuracy. Therefore, in-depth research and development of high-precision time difference estimation methods are crucial to improving the accuracy of passive time difference positioning technology. High-precision time difference positioning technology can not only enhance electronic warfare combat capabilities in the military field, but also has great potential and wide practicality in the civilian field.

[0003] Signal delay estimation is the most critical step in TDOA positioning. The generalized cross-correlation method (GCC) is one of the most widely used methods for delay estimation. Its basic principle is to perform weighting in the power spectrum of the signal, thereby suppressing noise interference in the time domain and sharpening the related signals. In addition, some researchers have proposed delay estimation methods based on high-order cumulants and delay estimation methods based on fractional low-order statistics. The delay estimation method based on high-order cumulants uses the property that the cumulants of the Gaussian process higher than the second order are equal to zero to achieve the effect of suppressing noise that obeys the Gaussian distribution. Furthermore, the delay estimation method based on fractional low-order statistics can suppress the influence of co-frequency interference signals while suppressing noise, thereby improving the signal's anti-interference ability. These existing algorithms are all based on the Gaussian noise model and are suitable for situations with high signal-to-noise ratio or sufficient prior knowledge conditions, which has certain defects in practical applications.

[0004] In the current complex electromagnetic environment, there will be a lot of pulse noise and co-band interference coexisting, resulting in the peak of the correlation function of the existing time difference estimation method not being sharp enough, and the appearance of pseudo peaks, resulting in a significant decrease in the time difference estimation performance. Therefore, it is necessary to optimize the existing algorithm and improve the accuracy of delay estimation under low signal-to-noise ratio. Summary of the invention

First, beamforming is used to preprocess the signal to suppress the co-channel interference. Secondly, the stationary characteristics of the signal are used to perform a hyperbolic tangent transformation and related operations based on Taylor expansion on the signal, so as to estimate the delay of the signal with co-channel interference, and separate the target signal from the interference signal in the cyclic frequency domain. This can effectively solve the problem that the delay estimation accuracy of the existing delay estimation method is low under the conditions of low signal-to-noise ratio and co-channel interference, and improve the robustness of the delay estimation.

[0123] The experimental conditions are set as follows: the target signal and the same-band interference are both BPSK signals, the target signal carrier frequency is f1 = 1000 Hz, the interference signal carrier frequency is f2 = 950 Hz, and the symbol rate, i.e., the cycle frequency, is ε s =ε h = 200 Hz, the time delays of the target signal and the interference signal reaching receiver 1 and receiver 2 are set to τ1 = τ′1 = 0, τ2 = 20 / f respectively. s ,τ′2=40 / f s .

The following figure compares the performance of the present invention (denoted as CCE) and the existing delay estimation algorithms, wherein the existing delay estimation algorithms include spectral coherence delay estimation based on second-order cyclic statistics (denoted as CSD), delay estimation based on fractional low-order cyclic statistics with prior knowledge (denoted as FLOCC_Good), delay estimation based on fractional low-order cyclic statistics without prior knowledge (denoted as FLOCC_Bad), and delay estimation based on the maximum correlation entropy criterion (denoted as MCCAPA).

[0124] Figure 1This is the beam diagram after preprocessing of the present invention.

[0125] Figure 2 The mean square error of the delay estimation of the present invention changes with the core length σ of the Gaussian kernel. The core length σ is an important parameter for suppressing noise interference in the Gaussian kernel. It can be observed that when σ changes from 0 to 2, the mean square error will first decrease and then increase. When σ = 0.8, the mean square error reaches the minimum value. Therefore, it can be determined that the optimal core length σ is 0.8.

As can be seen from the figure, the present invention, the CSD algorithm and the FLOOC algorithm all use the different cyclic frequencies of the target signal and the interference signal to suppress the influence of the same-band interference and obtain the correct delay estimation of the target signal. However, the MCCAPA algorithm ignores the cyclic characteristics of the signal and only performs an adaptive filter, resulting in its delay estimation being seriously affected by the interference signal and unable to obtain a correct delay estimation.

[0127] Figure 7 The delay estimation performance of the present invention and the existing delay estimation algorithm under pulse noise of different intensities. When the signal-to-noise ratio is -3dB, the accuracy of the present invention and the existing delay estimation algorithm will increase with the increase of the noise characteristic index, that is, it will increase with the weakening of the pulse noise. Under noise of the same pulse intensity, the present invention is better than the existing delay estimation algorithm. When the characteristic index is 1.3, the delay estimation accuracy of the present invention is 93%, which is slightly higher than the FLOCC_Good algorithm, 18% better than the FLOCC_Bad algorithm, 88% better than the CSD algorithm, and 53% better than the MCCAPA algorithm.

[0128] Figure 8 The delay estimation performance comparison chart of the present invention and the existing delay estimation algorithm under different signal-to-noise ratios. When the noise characteristic index is 1.4, the performance of the present invention and the existing delay estimation algorithm will improve with the increase of the signal-to-noise ratio, and the delay estimation accuracy of the present invention is better than that of several other algorithms. Although the delay estimation accuracy achieved by the FLOCC algorithm is close to that of the present invention, it needs to obtain information such as prior knowledge of noise before processing the signal, and the selection of algorithm parameters will also affect the accuracy of the delay estimation. Therefore, the FLOCC algorithm has certain difficulties in actual use. The present invention does not require information such as prior knowledge, and can obtain a higher delay estimation accuracy in strong pulse noise and low signal-to-noise ratio environments, and is practical.
