Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of signal processing, in particular to a weak scattering wave detection method based on a complex-valued neural network. BACKGROUND
[0002] The Direction of Arrival Estimation (DOA) of weak scattering waves, as a core technology of spatial signal processing, plays an irreplaceable role in radar target detection, seismic wave field inversion, underwater sonar positioning, 5G / 6G large-scale MIMO systems, and passive reconnaissance. The technical essence is to analyze the phase difference and amplitude change of the array received signal to invert the spatial propagation characteristics of the scattering wave. The classical DOA theory system is based on the orthogonality principle of signal subspace and noise subspace, and is represented by the multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and the rotation invariant subspace (ESPRIT) algorithm. In the single target and non-coherent signal scene, sub-degree direction finding accuracy has been achieved.
[0003] However, with the exponential growth of the electromagnetic environment complexity, such as dense multi-target scenes like UAV swarms and ship formations, the existing methods face the following severe technical bottlenecks:
[0004] 1. Coherent signal degradation problem. When multiple scattering wave signals have strong coherence, the rank of the received signal covariance matrix will collapse, causing the signal subspace dimension and the target number to be mismatched. For example, in the UAV swarm scene, the motion correlation of the formation targets will cause the spectral peak resolution of the MUSIC algorithm to decrease, and even completely fail.
[0005] 2. Weak signal sensitivity is insufficient. Traditional methods rely on accurate estimation of the covariance matrix, and its performance boundary is limited. For weak scattering waves with low signal-to-noise ratio, it is difficult to achieve effective estimation.
[0006] 3. Computational dimension disaster. The existing algorithm constructs a spatial spectrum by exhaustive search, and its computational complexity increases exponentially with the number of array elements, making it difficult to meet real-time requirements.
[0007] Therefore, a weak scattering wave detection method based on a complex-valued neural network is provided to solve the above problems. SUMMARY

[0128] Example 1
[0129] 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.
[0130] 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.
[0131] Example 2
[0132] 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).
[0133] Example 3
[0134] 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.
[0135] 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.
