2-D DOA Estimation of LFM Signals Based on Dechirping Algorithm and Uniform Circle Array

Anotace: Based on Dechirping algorithm and uniform circle array(UCA), a new 2-D direction of arrival (DOA) estimation algorithm of linear frequency modulation (LFM) signals is proposed in this paper. The algorithm uses the thought of Dechirping and regards the signal to be estimated which is received by the reference sensor as the reference signal and proceeds the difference frequency treatment with the signal received by each sensor. So the signal to be estimated becomes a single-frequency signal in each sensor. Then we transform the single-frequency signal to an isolated impulse through Fourier transform (FFT) and construct a new array data model based on the prominent parts of the impulse. Finally, we respectively use multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm and rotational invariance technique (ESPRIT) algorithm to realize 2-D DOA estimation of LFM signals. The simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm proposed.
