Abstract:
To address the problems of low accuracy and low robustness of the conventional algorithm in estimating the direction of arrival (DOA) of coherent signals against a composite background of strong interference and non-uniform noise, in this paper, a coherent signal DOA estimation algorithm based on fixed projection blocking is proposed in conjunction with a multi-input multi-output (MIMO) radar. The covariance matrix of the received signal is first decomposed by eigenvalues, and a fixed projection matrix orthogonal to the interference guidance vector is constructed as the interference blocking matrix. Then, the received array signal is pre-processed to re-form the covariance matrix, and this matrix is rendered decoherent through a Toeplitz reconstruction. Finally, the reconstructed covariance matrix is estimated by DOA using the propagation operator algorithm to reduce the complexity. The simulation verifies that the proposed algorithm has a better robustness and higher accuracy than conventional algorithms for the DOA estimation of coherent signals in composite backgrounds.
