针对传统盲分离算法对宽带信号不适用的问题,提出了一种基于阵列接收模型的宽带盲源分离算法。该算法以子带分解的方法实现了瞬时复值盲分离方法在宽带情形下的扩展。针对扩展过程中可能出现的子带间次序模糊及子带内幅度模糊的问题,利用阵列接收情况下分离矩阵与混合矩阵的特点,提出了一种基于波达方向(direction of arrival,DOA)估计的次序调整及幅度去模糊方法。仿真结果表明,该算法不仅能有效地分离宽带信号,而且可准确地恢复出信号幅度。
This paper addresses the problem of direction-of-arrival (DOA) and polarization estima- tion with polarization sensitive arrays (PSA), which has been a hot topic in the area of array signal processing during the past two or three decades. The sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) technique is introduced to exploit the sparsity of the incident signals in space to solve this problem and a new method is proposed by reconstructing the signals from the array outputs first and then exploit- ing the reconstructed signals to realize parameter estimation. Only 1-D searching and numerical calculations are contained in the proposed method, which makes the proposed method computa- tionally much efficient. Based on a linear array consisting of identically structured sensors, the proposed method can be used with slight modifications in PSA with different polarization structures. It also performs well in the presence of coherent signals or signals with different degrees of polarization. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the parameter estimation precision of the proposed method.
In this paper, a novel algorithm is presented for direction of arrival(DOA) estimation and array self-calibration in the presence of unknown mutual coupling. In order to highlight the relationship between the array output and mutual coupling coefficients, we present a novel model of the array output with the unknown mutual coupling coefficients. Based on this model, we use the space alternating generalized expectation-maximization(SAGE) algorithm to jointly estimate the DOA parameters and the mutual coupling coefficients. Unlike many existing counterparts, our method requires neither calibration sources nor initial calibration information. At the same time,our proposed method inherits the characteristics of good convergence and high estimation precision of the SAGE algorithm. By numerical experiments we demonstrate that our proposed method outperforms the existing method for DOA estimation and mutual coupling calibration.
