The invention belongs to the technical field of interference type array DOA
estimation, and particularly relates to a two-dimensional DOA
estimation method based on an L-shaped interference type
linear array. The method comprises the following steps that a three-dimensional rectangular coordinate
system is established by using the L-shaped interference type
linear array as the datum;
mutual correlation matrixes Rxz, xz and zx of x-axis receiving signals and z-axis receiving signals are obtained; in accordance with the Rxz, xz and zx, a linear operator Px and a linear operator Pz are obtained; according to the linear operator Px and the linear operator Pz, the coarse estimated value of each incidence
signal azimuth angle and the coarse estimated value of each incidence
signal pitch angle are searched for by using alpha as the search step size within the search angle range of 0-180 degrees; refined
estimation values corresponding to the incidence
signal azimuth angles are searched for by using beta as the search step size within each search region in
azimuth angle refined estimation, and refined estimation values corresponding to the incidence signal
pitch angles are searched for by using beta as the search step size within each search region in
pitch angle refined estimation; according to the refined estimation value of each incidence signal
pitch angle, and the refined estimation values of the paired incidence signal azimuth angles are acquired.
