基于两次谱分析的时延估计方法研究

时延估计是目标定位跟踪系统的关键技术之一,在水声、雷达、声探测等领域广泛应用。时延估计的基本方法是互相关法和相位谱法。互相关法时延估计分辨率与信号带宽近似成反比,因此很难估计多目标时延。相位谱时延估计只能估计单目标时延,并且存在相位解绕问题。本文提出了两次谱分析时延估计方法,即将互功率谱函数再次进行谱估计,二次谱峰值位置间距即为时延估计,这种方法既能够估计单目标时延,又能够估计多目标时延,并且不用相位解绕。仿真计算验证了两次谱时延估计方法的可行性。

Iterative joint data detection and channel estimation for uplink MC-CDMA systems in the presence of frequency selective channels

This paper is concerned with joint multiuser detection and multichannel estimation (JDE) for uplink multicarrier code-division multiple-access (MC-CDMA) systems in the presence of frequency selective channels. The detection and estimation, implemented at the receiver, are based on a version of the expectation maximization (EM) algorithm and the space-alternating generalized expectation–maximization (SAGE) which are very suitable for multicarrier signal formats. The EM-JDE receiver updates the data bit sequences in parallel, while the SAGE-JDE receiver reestimates them successively. The channel parameters are updated in parallel in both schemes. Application of the EM-based algorithm to the problem of iterative data detection and channel estimation leads to a receiver structure that also incorporates a partial interference cancelation. Computer simulations show that the proposed algorithms have excellent BER end estimation performance.

Direction of arrival estimation for underwater acoustic target based on compressed sensing after blind reconstruction of array signal in frequency domain

The performance of direction of arrival(DOA) estimation based on compressed sensing(CS) decreases in the complex ocean marine environment.In order to tackle this problem,a method of DOA estimation for underwater acoustic target based on CS after blind reconstruction of array signal in frequency domain is proposed.Firstly,the received array data are transformed to frequency domain by Fourier transform and frequency domain wideband signal are divided into part overlapping multiple sub-band array signal.Secondly,each subband array signal are separated using plural blind source separation(BSS) method,the sub-band separated matrix and target signal can be estimated.Thirdly,the array signal in frequency domain are reconstructed according to the separated matrix and separated signals which were not noises.Fourthly,the sub-band spatial spectrum corresponding to the reconstructed array signal is obtained by CS beamforming method.Finally,the total spatial spectrum is achieved by summing the all sub-band spatial spectrum.And the target direction can be estimated by searching the peak value of the total spatial spectrum.The verification results of simulator data and sea measured data show that,under the same conditions,the target detection ability and direction precision of the proposed method is superior to the classical minimum variance distortionless response(MVDR) method,frequency domain CS method,BSS combined with MVDR method.The spatial spectrum energy of faint target signal is improved obviously,and the ability of the sonar to detect faint target is enhanced.     

Adaptive eigenvalue decomposition algorithm for passive acoustic source localization

To find the position of an acoustic source in a room, the relative delay between two (or more) microphone signals for the direct sound must be determined. The generalized cross-correlation method is the most popular technique to do so and is well explained in a landmark paper by Knapp and Carter. In this paper, a new approach is proposed that is based on eigenvalue decomposition. Indeed, the eigenvector corresponding to the minimum eigenvalue of the covariance matrix of the microphone signals contains the impulse responses between the source and the microphone signals (and therefore all the information we need for time delay estimation). In experiments, the proposed algorithm performs well and is very accurate.

ECM and SAGE based joint estimation of timing and frequency offset for DMIMO–OFDM system

Distributed multiple-input multiple-output (DMIMO) technology is a key enabler of coverage extension and enhancement of link reliability in wireless networks through distributed spatial diversity. DMIMO employs classic relay channels in between the source and the destination to opportunistically form a virtual antenna array (VAA) for emulating cooperative diversity. Use of multiple antennas at the relays further increases capacity and reliability of the relay–destination channel through multiplexing and diversity of MIMO antennas respectively. In such network, the signal received at the destination is characterized by multiple timing offsets (MTO) due to different propagation delay and multiple carrier frequency offsets (MCFO) due to independent oscillators of the relays. Hence, synchronization becomes a crucial issue in DMIMO in order to realize the distributed coherence. In this paper, we address joint estimation of MCFO and MTO in DMIMO orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) with MIMO configuration at the relays for estimate-and-forward (EF) relaying protocol. Two iterative algorithms, based on expectation conditional maximization (ECM) and space alternating generalized expectation–maximization (SAGE) are proposed for joint estimation in presence of inter carrier interference (ICI). The robustness of both the estimators to ICI is evaluated by mathematical analysis and supported by extensive simulations. The performance of the proposed estimators is assessed in terms of mean square error (MSE) and bit error rate (BER). The theoretical Cramer–Rao lower bound (CRLB) of estimator error variance is also derived.
