The application belongs to the technical field of array antenna
signal processing, and particularly relates to a nested array antenna mutual
coupling elimination method and device based on a mixed near-field and far-field source. e The method comprises the following steps: modeling array antenna receiving signals according to an unknown mutual
coupling matrix, a near-field array flow pattern, a far-field array flow pattern, a near-field source, a far-field source and
noise; constructing the unknown mutual
coupling matrix C e from a unit matrix I and a mutual
coupling parameter matrix C whose mutual
coupling parameter is not 1; when the unknown mutual coupling exists, constructing a steering vector expression, and converting the steering vector into a form of a sum of two sub-matrices; constructing the mutual
coupling parameter matrix C according to the steering vector, and then solving a DOA
estimation value and a mutual coupling parameter
estimation value through one-dimensional search on the DOA and the mutual coupling parameter; and compensating the unknown mutual
coupling matrix C e by using the mutual coupling parameter
estimation value to constitute an estimation value of the unknown mutual
coupling matrix. The application estimates the mutual coupling parameter of the array antenna, thereby performing mutual coupling compensation, and realizing
elimination of mutual coupling interference.
