The invention provides a
direction of arrival estimation method based on an accelerated near-end
gradient method, and the method comprises the following steps: S1, based on the virtual domain characteristics of a received
signal, in combination with the mathematical properties of a
Kronecker product, carrying out vectorization
processing, carrying out form transformation, and eliminating the aperture information of a redundant array by using a dimension reduction matrix; s2, constructing a corresponding atom set, determining an atom norm expression, converting the atom norm expression into a positive semidefinite
programming problem by adopting a convex relaxation technology, introducing a regularization constraint mechanism, and solving by adopting an accelerated near-end gradient
algorithm to obtain a receiving
signal after sparse reconstruction and a corresponding Hermitian-
toeplitz matrix; and S3, on the basis of the Hermitian-
toeplitz matrix, performing eigenvalue
decomposition operation, extracting a
noise subspace, and applying a spectral peak
search algorithm to realize
accurate estimation of the
direction of arrival. According to the method, the complete
array aperture information of the received
signal in the virtual domain is fully mined and utilized, so that the calculation complexity is remarkably reduced, and the better
estimation precision performance is realized.
