The invention relates to a monopole cross
loop antenna signal direction finding method combining amplitude comparison and variable step size MUSIC, and the method mainly comprises the steps: obtaining an initial
estimation angle through an amplitude comparison
algorithm, if the angle is located in a
loop antenna cross angle domain, directly taking the angle as a final result through the high-precision characteristic of the amplitude comparison
algorithm in the angle domain, and carrying out the direction finding of the monopole cross
loop antenna signal. The direction finding performance of the angular domain is improved; and if the
spatial spectrum function is not located in the cross angle domain, the spectral peak search range of the MUSIC
algorithm is further narrowed by using the initial
estimation result, and the
spatial spectrum function is searched by adopting a variable step size mode, so that the direction finding resolution of the MUSIC algorithm is improved, and the calculation complexity is reduced at the same time. According to the method, two
direction finding algorithms of amplitude comparison and MUSIC are utilized, high-precision direction finding in a loop antenna cross angle domain is realized, a higher resolution success rate is shown, the direction finding efficiency is effectively improved, and the method has important application value in the fields of high-frequency
radar ocean current detection, short-wave communication and the like.
