The application discloses an AOA-assisted
direct wave TOF super-resolution
estimation method in a multipath environment. First,
radar data is collected, phase offsets are introduced between different channels and subcarriers through AOA and TOF, a
wideband array
signal model is established, then an
estimation grid is divided within the AOA and TOF
estimation range, a
sparse constraint optimization model is constructed according to the sparsity of the real AOA-TOF compared with the estimation grid, electromagnetic
waves penetrating through a
building environment are effectively estimated through a
variable resolution estimation method,
variable resolution solving is completed, finally, based on the difference between the
direct wave and the multipath in the AOA-TOF spectrum, the
direct wave signal is extracted from all the paths estimated according to the direct wave AOA being equal to 0, and the direct wave TOF estimation is completed. The method can realize super-resolution estimation of the direct wave
signal in the electromagnetic
wave propagation path in a complex unknown scene, has the advantages of
high resolution, small calculation amount, high direct
wave separation accuracy and the like, and can be directly applied to CT building
layout, wall-penetrating
radar and other equipment.
