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。
Taking into account the intrinsic feature of multimode antenna's modal outputs as well as the unique property of fully-noncircular signals,an ESPRIT-like closed-form direction of arrival(DOA) estimation method is proposed.By using only one single compact multimode antenna,this method does not involve complicated element-position calibration,and is attractive when space for array arrangement is very small.Computer simulations are performed to validate the proposed method.
