AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies struggle to accurately characterize the spatial frequency characteristics of signals in near-field target localization. Traditional methods suffer from model mismatch and high computational complexity, making it particularly difficult to achieve high-precision angle and distance parameter estimation under large-scale array conditions.
A spatial frequency modeling method based on atomic norm is constructed. By introducing a fast atomic norm minimization algorithm with coordinate descent, the dominant frequency component is recovered in the continuous frequency domain. Combined with the physical law of spatial frequency variation with array element position, high-resolution parameter estimation is achieved and computational complexity is reduced.
It achieves high-precision near-field target localization under large-scale array conditions, can stably extract spatial frequency features under low signal-to-noise ratio and multi-target conditions, reduces computational complexity, and is suitable for 6G large-scale MIMO systems.
