The invention relates to a monostatic FDA-
MIMO radar distance angle joint
estimation method based on real value
order reduction, and belongs to the technical field of FDA-
MIMO radar research. On the basis of a real value
order reduction method, a complex value receiving model is converted into a real value receiving model by utilizing forward and reverse average and
unitary transformation technologies, original complex operation is converted into real value operation, the calculation complexity is reduced compared with other methods, then a
covariance matrix of a real value receiving
signal is calculated according to a maximum likelihood
estimation criterion, and the real value receiving
signal is obtained. And carrying out eigenvalue
decomposition on the real-value
covariance matrix by adopting EVD, selecting eigenvectors corresponding to smaller eigenvalues to form a real-
value noise subspace, and estimating the angle and the distance by utilizing the real-
value noise subspace. According to the angle and distance
estimation method, the two-dimensional search cost function of the angle and the distance is decomposed into two one-dimensional searches by using the property of the
Kronecker product, and the calculation amount is greatly reduced on the premise of ensuring the search precision.
