This invention discloses a method for calculating polarization parameters of
radar array signals based on the vector MUSIC
algorithm, relating to the field of
radar array
signal processing technology. First, this invention obtains the polarization
signal steering vector matrix and
noise subspace corresponding to the
radar array
signal, and performs
matrix multiplication to obtain a 2×2 complex
Hermitian matrix. By extracting the ratio of the imaginary to the real part of the second element in the first row of the complex
Hermitian matrix, the arctangent function is directly applied to obtain the polarization
phase difference, avoiding the process of solving for eigenvectors. Then, the minimum eigenvalue of the complex
Hermitian matrix is calculated, and combined with the trace of the complex Hermitian matrix, the arctangent value is calculated, and the polarization auxiliary angle is directly derived, eliminating the need for a complete eigenvalue
decomposition process. Therefore, when calculating polarization parameters, the calculation starts from the definition of polarization parameters, i.e., directly from the definition of polarization
phase difference and polarization auxiliary angle, directly avoiding the complex calculations brought about by eigenvalue
decomposition, thereby reducing computational complexity and improving computational accuracy.
