基于压缩感知的自适应数字波束形成算法

Adaptive Digital Beamforming Algorithm Based on Compressed Sensing

该文根据目标在空间的稀疏性,提出了接收端的基于压缩感知理论的自适应数字波束形成算法。在阵元稀布的情况下,用压缩感知的压缩采样理论,恢复出缺失通道的回波信息,然后用恢复的信号做数字波束形成。该算法所形成的波束具有波束旁瓣低,指向误差小,干扰方向零陷深,而且没有栅瓣等优点,波束性能接近满阵时候的波束性能,而且使用该方法减少的阵元数远远大于其他稀布阵方法减少的阵元数。采用蒙特卡罗方法对该方法进行了性能评估,给出了不同信噪比、不同干噪比、不同快拍情况下的计算结果,仿真结果也验证了该算法的正确性。

A new adaptive digital beamforming in receiving end based on compressed sensing is proposed. In the case of sparse array antenna, receiving signal from absence elements can be reconstructed by using the theory of compressed sensing. Adaptive digital beamforming techniques are then adopted to form antenna beams, whose main lobe is steered to desired direction and nulls are steered to the directions of interferences. Simulation results with Monte Carlo method show that the beam performances of the proposed method are approaching to that of full array antenna, and actual antenna elements can be reduced greatly.
