Description
Summary:Target orientation estimation is the premise to achieve target positioning and tracking. The classical DOA estimation algorithm needs to know the array structure and other informations. When those information cannot be obtained accurately, the performance of the algorithm will be degraded or even invalid. In this paper, a DOA estimation method for array signals based on blind source separation is proposed. The received mixed signals are separated by blind source separation, and the array steering matrix is estimated. Then the signal receiving channel is dimensionally reduced and transformed, and the covariance matrix is reconstructed. Finally use the MUSIC algorithm to achieve DOA estimation. Through simulation experiments, the results show that the method can realize DOA estimation under the condition of unknown array steering matrix, and it is robust.
