The invention is suitable for the technical field of
underwater target detection, and provides a
broadband signal DOA
estimation method based on fast sparse Bayesian learning. The method comprises the following steps: acquiring
frequency domain array receiving
signal data and establishing a sparse
signal model; constructing a
Bayesian probability model based on the sparse signal model; deducing a fixed point updating formula of the hyper-parameter, and performing parameter iterative calculation by using the formula to obtain
estimation of a sound source signal space
energy distribution vector; according to the method, by using the fixed point updating formula, the convergence rate of parameter iteration of sparse Bayesian learning is remarkably increased, and the real-
time processing capacity of the technical scheme is effectively improved; by using parameterized
signal variance in sub-band signal prior distribution modeling, effective description of spatial sparsity of different sub-band signals is realized, and the
frequency band adaptability is improved; the angle refinement
processing based on the marginal likelihood maximum criterion is designed for optimizing the DOA coarse
estimation, the DOA estimation with higher precision is obtained, and the DOA estimation precision is effectively improved.
