Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of signal processing technology, and in particular to a method for detecting weak scattered waves based on complex-valued neural networks. Background Technology

[0002] Direction of Arrival (DOA) estimation, a core technology in space signal processing, plays an irreplaceable role in radar target detection, seismic wavefield inversion, underwater sonar positioning, 5G / 6G massive MIMO systems, and passive reconnaissance. Its core technology involves jointly analyzing the phase difference and amplitude variations of the received signal from the array to invert the spatial propagation characteristics of the scattered wave. The classical DOA theory is built upon the orthogonality principle of the signal and noise subspaces, represented by algorithms such as Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) and Rotation Invariant Subspace (ESPRIT), achieving sub-degree-level direction-finding accuracy in single-target, incoherent signal scenarios.

[0003] However, with the exponential increase in the complexity of electromagnetic environments, such as dense multi-target scenarios like drone swarms and naval formations, existing methods face the following severe technical bottlenecks: 1. Coherent signal degradation problem: When multiple scattered wave signals exhibit strong coherence, the rank of the received signal covariance matrix will collapse, leading to a mismatch between the signal subspace dimension and the number of targets. For example, in drone swarm scenarios, the motion correlation of formation targets can reduce the spectral peak resolution of the MUSIC algorithm, or even cause it to fail completely.

[0004] 2. Insufficient sensitivity to weak signals: Traditional methods rely on accurate estimation of the covariance matrix, which limits their performance. For weak scattered waves with low signal-to-noise ratio, it is difficult to achieve effective estimation.

[0032] Example 1 Consider a set of three coherent signals with identical or nearly identical Doppler frequency shifts and time delays, a signal-to-noise ratio of -25 dB, a snapshot number of 200, and different directions of arrival. Estimation is performed using both the traditional range-Doppler domain MUSIC algorithm and a weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks. The spatial spectra (MUSIC spectra) estimated by both methods are shown below. Figure 4 (a) and Figure 4 As shown in (b), the traditional MUSIC algorithm using the range-Doppler domain cannot form an effective spectral peak and cannot estimate the number of waves and azimuth angle. However, the weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks can form an effective spectral peak and accurately estimate the number of incoming waves and azimuth angle.

[0033] Consider a set of coherent signals containing two signals with identical or nearly identical Doppler frequency shifts and time delays, both having a signal-to-noise ratio of -10 dB, a snapshot number of 200, and very similar directions of arrival. Estimation is performed using both the traditional MUSIC algorithm in the range-Doppler domain and a weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks. The spatial spectra (MUSIC spectra) estimated by both methods are as follows: Figure 4 (c) and Figure 4 As shown in (d), the traditional MUSIC algorithm using the range-Doppler domain only forms one spectral peak, which cannot estimate the number of waves and the azimuth angle. However, the weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks can form two effective spectral peaks and accurately estimate the number of incoming waves and the azimuth angle.

[0034] Example 2 like Figure 5 As shown, consider a set of coherent signals containing two signals with identical or nearly identical Doppler frequency shifts and time delays, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) ranging from -30dB to 10dB, and 200 snapshots each, but with different directions of arrival. Estimation is performed using the traditional range-Doppler domain MUSIC algorithm (RD-MUSIC), the root-finding MUSIC algorithm (R-MUSIC), the ESPRIT algorithm, and the weak scattering wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks (RD-CVNN). The root mean square error (RMSE) between the estimated direction of arrival and the true direction is calculated for each algorithm. Comparison reveals that the ESPRIT algorithm fails to provide an effective estimate. While the results from the traditional range-Doppler domain MUSIC algorithm (RD-MUSIC) and the root-finding MUSIC algorithm (R-MUSIC) improve with increasing SNR, they are still not as accurate as those from the weak scattering wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks (RD-CVNN).

[0035] Example 3 like Figure 6As shown, consider a set of coherent signals containing two signals, whose Doppler frequency shift and time delay are the same or almost the same, the number of snapshots varies from 200 to 1000, the signal-to-noise ratio is -25dB, and the directions of arrival are different. Estimation is performed using the traditional range-Doppler domain MUSIC algorithm (RD-MUSIC), the root-finding MUSIC algorithm (R-MUSIC), the ESPRIT algorithm, and the weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks (RD-CVNN). The root mean square error between the estimated direction of arrival and the true direction is calculated for each algorithm. Comparison reveals that the ESPRIT algorithm and the root-finding MUSIC algorithm (R-MUSIC) cannot achieve effective estimation. While the result estimated by the traditional range-Doppler domain MUSIC algorithm (RD-MUSIC) can improve with the increase of the number of snapshots, it is still not as accurate as the estimation result provided by the weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural networks (RD-CVNN) in this embodiment.

[0036] Therefore, the present invention adopts the above-mentioned weak scattered wave detection method based on complex-valued neural network. By constructing a received signal model and a complex-valued neural network model, and combining data segmentation, two-dimensional fuzzy function calculation, maximum value search to construct virtual snapshots and virtual covariance matrices, specific input data is provided to the complex-valued neural network to achieve direction finding of weak scattered waves. This can effectively enhance the weak signal detection capability, improve the multi-target resolution capability, enhance environmental adaptability, optimize computational efficiency, and reduce physical hardware expenses.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and not to limit them. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can still be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and these modifications or equivalent substitutions cannot cause the modified technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
