Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in passive radar, and particularly relates to a direction finding method based on hybrid resolution quantization and applicable to conformal arrays. Background Technique
[0002] A conformal array refers to an array in which antennas are attached to the surface of a carrier. It has the characteristics of saving space, making full use of the aperture, meeting the requirements of aerodynamics, being easy to achieve wide-angle scanning, and reducing the radar cross section. It has broad application prospects in the fields of aviation, communication, radar, etc. The research on DOA estimation and polarization parameter estimation methods is one of the important tasks to promote the continuous engineering application of conformal array technology.
[0003] The DOA estimation problem is of great significance in the field of array signal processing and has extensive applications in fields such as automotive radar, sonar, and wireless communication. In the case of using high-bandwidth signals, it involves high-precision analog-to-digital converters that require a large amount of power consumption and hardware costs. However, as the quantization bits and sampling rate increase, the power consumption and hardware costs of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) increase exponentially. Using a one-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a promising technology to alleviate the above ADC problems. One-bit sampling based on a time-varying threshold scheme can eliminate the ambiguity between the signal amplitude and noise variance. However, a pure one-bit ADC system has problems such as large rate loss, especially in high signal-to-noise ratio states and dynamic range problems, that is, strong targets can mask weak targets. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a direction finding method for a conformal array based on hybrid resolution quantization, which is used to reduce the problem of large resource consumption existing in DOA estimation of conformal arrays, thereby solving the deployment problem in direction finding under space-limited conditions such as UAV positioning or vehicle-mounted radar.
[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solutions:

According to the array information, calculate the part of the steering vector corresponding to each grid point excluding polarization, and multiply the channel corresponding to the low-resolution quantization by the corresponding quantization factor α to obtain D θ,φ , calculate the corresponding value. The angle corresponding to the point with the largest value is the estimated DOA, and then calculate the corresponding polarization parameters.

[0046] The specific embodiments of the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several changes and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0047] Embodiment 1. The conformal array can effectively conform to the shape of the carrier platform. This not only solves the deployment problem during direction finding under space-limited conditions but also provides a wider field of view. However, in applications such as UAV positioning or vehicle-mounted radar, the available space for the antenna array is often limited, and the computing resources are also restricted. Therefore, miniaturization and low power consumption are urgent challenges to be solved. The conformal array can effectively solve the miniaturization problem, and a direction-finding method for a conformal array based on hybrid-resolution quantization proposed in this embodiment can further reduce resource consumption, having important practical engineering value.
[0048] The direction-finding method for a conformal array based on hybrid-resolution quantization includes the following steps:
[0049] Step S1: Design the conformal array structure;
[0050] Step S2: Respectively construct models for the signals received by the receiving antennas and the signals transmitted by the transmitting antennas, and obtain the received data according to the transmitted signal model and the received signal model;
[0051] Step S3: Receive high-precision quantization and low-precision quantization data using the structure designed in Step S1, and process the low-precision quantization data according to the additive Gaussian noise model to obtain the received data under hybrid resolution quantization;
[0052] Step S4: Perform covariance decomposition on the received data under hybrid resolution quantization;
[0053] Step S5: Perform spectral peak search on the hybrid resolution quantization data after covariance decomposition to estimate the DOA information and polarization information.
[0054] Since when the antenna actually receives data, the ADC needs to convert the analog signal into a digital signal and then perform subsequent signal processing. When using a high-precision (high-resolution) ADC (more than a dozen-bit quantization), the number of data bits is large and the resource occupancy is high. While when using a low-precision ADC (such as single-bit quantization), the data precision is not high enough, which brings errors to subsequent processing. Therefore, this embodiment proposes a conformal array direction finding method based on hybrid resolution quantization. By designing the conformal array structure, high- and low-precision quantization data are received, and at the same time, the low-precision quantization data is processed according to the additive Gaussian noise model to obtain the received data under hybrid resolution quantization; the received data under hybrid resolution quantization is used for DOA estimation, which solves the problem of large resource consumption in DOA estimation of the conformal array, thus effectively solving the problem of antenna array layout in a limited space, providing a wider field of view, reducing resource consumption, and providing a new solution for direction finding under the conditions of miniaturization and low power consumption.
[0055] Furthermore, since the existing rank-deficient MUSIC algorithm is mainly applied to the processing of high-precision ADC quantization data. Therefore, in the present invention, by processing the signal after hybrid resolution quantization, the rank-deficient MUSIC algorithm can process the received data under hybrid resolution quantization, so that the rank-deficient MUSIC algorithm can still be used in the case of hybrid resolution quantization reception.
[0056] Embodiment 2. Refer to Figures 1 to 5 To describe this embodiment, this embodiment specifically describes a conformal array direction finding method based on hybrid resolution quantization proposed in Embodiment 1;
[0057] Step S1: Design the conformal array structure;
[0058] Specifically:
[0059] Design the conformal array arrangement of m antennas, design the positions of the low-resolution receiving channels, and design the low-resolution bit calculation, and calculate the corresponding quantization factor α according to the low-resolution bits. Since it is necessary to conform to the surface of the carrier, short dipole antennas are generally used for conformal arrays. The signal model described in this embodiment is applicable to any array. Since the cylindrical conformal antenna array has a good field of view, therefore, Figure 1 Taking the eight-element circular array described as an example for illustration, the radius of the eight-element circular array is 0.1 m. Select the 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th antennas as the positions of the low-resolution receiving channels, perform low-resolution quantization on the data received by them, and use the remaining antennas as the positions of the high-resolution receiving channels, and perform high-resolution quantization on the data received by them.
[0060] Step S2: Construct the models of the signals received by the receiving antennas and the signals transmitted by the transmitting antennas respectively, and obtain the received data according to the transmitting signal model and the receiving signal model;
[0061] Specifically:
[0062] Construct the models of the signals received by the receiving antennas and the signals transmitted by the transmitting antennas. Design K transmitting-end signal models including frequency, direction of arrival, and signal source polarization parameters. The signals received by the receiving end include the target signal S(t) and the noise signal n(t).
[0063] Assume that the transmitted signal S(t) is a narrowband signal and the noise n(t) is Gaussian thermal noise. According to the principle of array signal processing, the received signal data is expressed as:
[0064]
[0065] Among them, s k (t) represents the kth narrowband signal, represents the steering vector of the kth signal composed of the spatial response and the polarization response, which is a function of the DOA parameter and the polarization parameter, and A is the signal steering vector matrix.
[0066] Among them, the element spatial phase matrix of the kth signal is expressed as:
[0067]
[0068] This matrix is a diagonal matrix, where the nth diagonal element u n,k = exp(-j2π[p T (θ k , φ k )r n / λ) represents the spatial phase factor of the kth signal associated with the nth antenna element. In addition, p(θ k , φ k ) = -[sinφ kcosθ k , sinφ k sinθ k T is the signal propagation vector, r n is the position vector of the antenna, and λ is the wavelength.
[0069] On the other hand, the polarization response is divided into three parts, namely, the polarization sensitivity matrix B brought by different pointing forms of the short dipole antenna, the conversion matrix from the polarization coordinate system to the plane coordinate system and the polarization form of the signal source Stacking the polarization sensitivity characteristics of all short dipole antennas together, B is expressed as:
[0070] B = [B 1 , B 2 ,..., B M T
[0071] where, B l = [cosα l sinα l T , and α l is the antenna pointing of the l-th antenna. To unify the polarization coordinates and the array coordinates, the conversion matrix from the polarization coordinate system to the plane coordinate system for the array composed of short dipoles is:
[0072]
[0073] The first column represents the horizontal polarization component in the plane, while the second column represents the vertical polarization component in the plane. Finally, is the polarization form of the k-th signal source, defined as:
[0074]
[0075] Therefore, the steering vector of the k-th signal can be expressed as:
[0076]
[0077] Step S3: Use the structure designed in the above Step S1 to receive high-precision quantization and low-precision quantization data, and process the low-precision quantization data according to the additive Gaussian noise model to obtain the received data under mixed-resolution quantization; where, the selection of the quantization factor α is shown in Table 1.
[0078] Table 1
[0079] b (bit) 1 2 3 4 5 β 0.3634 0.1175 0.03454 0.009497 0.002499
[0080] Let M L and M H respectively represent the numbers of low-resolution and high-resolution ADCs. The mixed quantized received signal is expressed as:
[0081]
[0082] where x L (t) and x L (t) respectively represent the signals to be quantized at low resolution and high resolution.
[0083] Since the data of the low-precision quantization channel conforms to the additive Gaussian noise model, in this embodiment, the signal quantized at low resolution is processed by using the additive quantization noise model to obtain a new low-resolution quantized received signal:
[0084]
[0085] where represents the quantization function, and w Q (t) represents the quantization noise uncorrelated with x L (t). The coefficient α = 1 - β is the linear quantization gain, where β represents the loss factor of the low-resolution ADC, defined as:
[0086]
[0087] When the quantization precision is low (b ≤ 5), the estimated values of the loss factor are shown in Table 1. For larger quantization bits (b > 5), the loss factor can be approximated as:
[0088]
[0089] In addition, the covariance matrix of the quantization noise w Q (t) is related to the antenna receiving amplitude and is expressed as:
[0090]
[0091] Therefore, the total signal received after mixed-resolution quantization is expressed as:
[0092]
[0093] where where, A L and A H respectively represent the low- and high-resolution signal steering vector matrices, n L (t) and n H (t) respectively represent the low- and high-resolution noise signals, and w Q (t) represents the quantization noise uncorrelated with the low-resolution quantized data x L (t).
[0094] Step S4: Perform covariance decomposition on the received data under mixed-resolution quantization;
[0095] Specifically:
[0096] Perform covariance decomposition on the received data: Calculate the covariance of the k snapshots of the received data Perform eigenvalue decomposition on the covariance Among them, the eigenvectors corresponding to the n large eigenvalues are what we call The eigenvectors corresponding to the (m - K) small eigenvalues are called
[0097] Step S5: Perform spectral peak search on the mixed-resolution quantization data after covariance decomposition to estimate DOA information and polarization information.
[0098] Specifically:
[0099] Perform spectral peak search on the data after mixed-resolution quantization to estimate DOA information and polarization information. Divide the two-dimensional area to be searched into grid points. According to the array information, calculate the part of the steering vector corresponding to each grid point excluding polarization. For the channels corresponding to low-resolution quantization, multiply by the corresponding quantization factor α. The resulting part is what we call D θ,φ , calculate the corresponding value for each point. Among them, the angle corresponding to the point with the largest value is the estimated DOA. Then, calculate the corresponding polarization parameters according to the method of finding the optimal solution.
[0100] Among them, according to Step S2, we express D in different grid points θ,φ as:
[0101] D θ,φ = ΓΥ θ,φ BΞ θ,φ
[0102] Let Calculate the matrix for each grid point, and then compare the determinant values. The angle corresponding to the grid point with the smallest value is the estimated DOA, as shown in Figure 2 (a):
[0103]
[0104] After estimating the DOA information, next, perform the estimation of polarization information. Use the Lagrange gradient method to obtain the solution of (H(θ k , φ k ) - λI)h γ,η = 0, which is the estimated polarization information. In addition, the search method can also be used to estimate the polarization information, as shown in Figure 3As shown in (a).
[0105] Embodiment 3: Refer to Figures 2 to 5 To describe this embodiment, this embodiment compares the conformal array direction finding method based on hybrid resolution quantization proposed in the above embodiment with the existing 1-bit quantization method to fully illustrate the effect of the conformal array direction finding method based on hybrid resolution quantization;
[0106] Specifically: As Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, compared with full low-resolution quantization, both the spatial spectrum and polarization spectrum peaks of the hybrid quantization structure proposed by the present invention are significantly higher, and the estimation accuracy is improved.
[0107] Furthermore, through 2000 Monte Carlo experiments for statistics, the root mean square error of the angle measurement accuracy is obtained as the accuracy measurement standard for comparison. By comparing the estimation accuracies under different bit quantization structures, the performance improvement and power consumption reduction brought by the hybrid resolution quantization structure are analyzed.
[0108] As Figure 4 shown, as the signal-to-noise ratio increases, the accuracy of parameter estimation improves. Hybrid resolution quantization is superior to full low-resolution quantization. At low signal-to-noise ratios, the main error is caused by thermal noise, while at high signal-to-noise ratios, the quantization error dominates. The RMSE increases as the number of quantization bits decreases, but the reduction in accuracy is small. Therefore, the hybrid quantization method can slightly sacrifice accuracy in exchange for reduced resource consumption.
[0109] As Figure 5 shown, the selection of quantization antennas also affects the estimation results, because low-resolution quantization is used at antennas with high received amplitudes, which will cause an increase in quantization noise. Based on this characteristic, we can adjust the quantization structure to improve the estimation accuracy in the direction of interest.
