AI Technical Summary
In array signal processing, single-element sensors struggle to achieve high-resolution DOA estimation of coherent signals with low complexity and no aperture loss under multipath effects. Existing technologies suffer from high hardware complexity and high system cost.
A method based on single-element moving synthetic aperture is adopted. The signal is received by a single-element sensor moving at a constant speed in a straight line. By combining time-domain multisampling and covariance matrix eigenvalue decomposition, a signal subspace matrix is constructed and pre- and post-convolution kernel operations are performed. The DOA estimation is performed using the MUSIC/ESPRIT algorithm.
It achieves high-resolution DOA estimation without aperture loss in coherent signal scenarios, improving the estimation accuracy of coherent signals and reducing computational complexity.
