针对因使用天线阵列而造成的天线互耦和阵元位置未核准问题,利用多模天线多个模式输出间的内在联系,以及完全非圆信号的特殊性质,提出了一种旋转不变型闭式波达方向(direction of arrival,DOA)估计方法。由于该法只需使用单个结构紧凑的双锥天线,无须像传统天线阵列一样进行复杂的阵元空间位置校准,适用于阵列摆放空间受限的应用场合。计算机仿真结果验证了算法的有效性和优越性。
A minimum mean-squared error （MSE） beamforming algorithm employing the optimum fractional Fourier transform （Opt-FrFT） domain second-order cyclostationarity is proposed. This method can efficiently filter out the compact desired chirp signal, with a consequence that the cyclically uncorrelated interferences and stationary （colored） Gaussian noise are greatly suppressed in the Opt- FrFT domain. This improves the MSE minimization cyclic beamformer by reducing effectively the Opt-FrFY domain signal-noise cross terms in the presence of finite data length de-correlation operation. Simulation results show that the new method works well under a wide range of signal-to-noise ratio （SNR） and signal-to-interference ratio （SIR）.
