针对低信噪比条件下多输入多输出声呐受对称噪声分量影响导致测向性能降低的情况,提出了一种基于协方差矩阵重构方法的波达方向估计算法。首先,将噪声场分为对称噪声和非对称噪声两部分,利用协方差矩阵虚部与对称信号无关的性质,去掉协方差矩阵的实部来降低对称噪声对目标波达方向估计精度的影响,采用降维转换方法和矩阵虚部置换原理重构协方差矩阵的实部,避免了双频谱的干扰。然后利用Toeplitz方法对重构的协方差矩阵进行解相干修正,通过奇异值分解获得噪声子空间,最后对目标的波达方向进行估计,可实现微弱信号的准确测向。理论分析和实验结果表明,该方法明显抑制了对称噪声,提高了目标的波达方向估计性能,具有运算速度快、自由度高和目标分辨力强的特点。

Weak signal direction of arrival estimation for colocated multiple-input multiple-output sonar array

In order to suppress the influence of symmetrical noise component on multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO)sonar's direction of arrival(DOA)estimation under the condition of low signal-to-noise ratio,we propose a DOA estimation algorithm based on covariance matrix reconstruction method.Firstly,the noise field can be decomposed into symmetrical noise field and asymmetrical noise field.We utilize symmetry property of colored noise matrix and the feature that the imaginary part of covariance matrix has no relation with the symmetry noise to remove the real part of covariance matrix.This operation helps to suppress the influence of colored noise on DOA estimation accuracy.Based on the principle of the imaginary matrix part displacement and the dimension reduction transformation method,the real part of covariance matrix is reconstructed,which helps to suppress the bilateral spectrum interference.Thereafter,Toeplitz method is applied for the covariance matrix decorrelation amendment,and a noise subspace is formed by singular value decomposition(SVD).Finally,we can estimate the DOA of target signals.Both theoretical analysis results and numerical simulation results verify the symmetrical noise suppression performance of this algorithm,and the estimation performance of target azimuth is improved obviously.This method has the characteristics of lower operational complexity,higher degrees of freedom and stronger target resolution.

Direction-of-arrival estimation using matrix spatial prefiltering approach

An approach to direction-of-arrival （DOA） estimation for multiple narrowband farfield signals is proposed. The technique uses a novel matrix spatial prefiltering approach. Specifically, a matrix filter is designed to spatially filter the incoming data snapshots. The un-wanted components arriving from the stopband angular sectors are attenuated and the desired components from the angular sector of interest pass with minimal distortion. The matrix filter spatially filters the element-space data and the output reserves the element-space data property, which makes it very useful by passing sensor data through a spatial prefilter prior to applying many other array processors to attenuate interferences and improve system performance. Several examples of DOA estimation problem are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed spatial prefiltering approach. Results of simulation and real data show that the pre-filter can efficiently attenuate the spatial interferences and significantly improve the estimation and resolution capability of DOA estimators at low signal-to-noise ratios for the sources located inside the passband sector. In addition, the use of spatial prefilter makes it possible to estimate DOAs for multiple sources more than the number of the elements of an array.

Bandwidth-efficient frequency-domain equalization for single carrier multiple-input multiple-output underwater acoustic communications

This paper proposes a single carrier (SC) receiver scheme with bandwidth-efficient frequency-domain equalization (FDE) for underwater acoustic (UWA) communications employing multiple transducers and multiple hydrophones. Different from the FDE methods that perform FDE on a whole data block, the proposed algorithm implements an overlapped-window FDE by partitioning a large block into small subblocks. A decision-directed channel estimation scheme is incorporated with the overlapped-window FDE to track channel variations and improve the error performance. The proposed algorithm significantly increases the length of each block and keeps the same number of training symbols per block, hence achieving better data efficiency without performance degradation. The proposed scheme is tested by the undersea data collected in the Rescheduled Acoustic Communications Experiment (RACE) in March 2008. Without coding, the 2-by-12 MIMO overlapped-window FDE reduces the average bit error rate (BER) over traditional SC-FDE schemes by 74.4% and 84.6% for the 400 m and 1000 m range systems, respectively, at the same data efficiency. If the same BER performance is required, the proposed algorithm has only 8.4% transmission overhead, comparing to over 20% overhead in other existing UWA OFDM and SC-FDE systems. The improved data efficiency and/or error performance of the proposed FDE scheme is achieved by slightly increased computational complexity over traditional SC-FDE schemes.

Adaptive multiple-input multiple-output mode switching for indoor visible light communication system with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an adaptive multiple-input multiple-output(MIMO) mode switching scheme for an indoor visible light communication system combined with orthogonal frequency division multiplexing modulation.Only requiring 1 bit feedback from the receiver,the MIMO mode at the transmitter switches between spatial multiplexing and transmit diversity adapting to the channel correlation.In such a way,we can take advantage of both spatial multiplexing and transmit diversity,where the spatial multiplexing benefits for its multiplexing gain in the low channel correlation environment,and the transmit diversity is robust to high channel correlation.Experimental results validate the performance improvement over the pure spatial multiplexing or transmit diversity system.With the increasing of the channel correlation,the measured bit error rates of the proposed system are below the 7% pre-forward error correction(pre-FEC) limit of 3.8 × 10~(-3)when the transmitted data rate is 50 Mb/s,and below the 20% pre-FEC threshold of 5.0 × 10~(-2) when the transmitted data rate is raised up to 100 Mb/s.     

A new layered space--time detection algorithm for frequency selective fading multiple-input multiple-output channels based on particle filter

In this paper, a new observation equation of non-Gaussian frequency selective fading Bell Labs layered space time (BLAST) architecture system is proposed, which is used for frequency selective fading channels and non-Gaussian noise in an application environment of BLAST system. With othogonal matrix triangularization (QR decomposition) of the channel matrix, the static observation equation of frequency selective fading BLAST system is transformed into a dynamic state space model, and then the particle filter is used for space--time layered detection. Making the full use of the finite alphabet of the digital modulation communication signal, the optimal proposal distribution can be chosen to produce particle and update the weight. Incorporated with current method of reducing error propagation, a new space--time layered detection algorithm is proposed. Simulation result shows the validity of the proposed algorithm.

Target parameter estimation for OTFS radar using sparse signal processing

In this paper, we consider a monostatic radar receiver for a joint communication and radar (JCR) system that transmits orthogonal time frequency space (OTFS) frames for target detection and parameter estimation. The circular prolate pulse shape (CPPS) is employed over the OTFS signal as it has lower out-of-band (OoB) power radiation in comparison with the rectangular pulse shaped (RPS) OTFS. The PAPR of CPPS OTFS signal shows lowest value for larger frame duration and hence the signal can be considered to be a good candidate for JCR system. In the Delay-Doppler (DD) domain, the radar channel is sparse and therefore, we model the target detection problem as a sparse recovery problem to generate target profiles with higher peak-to-sidelobe ratio (PSLR). The target detection is carried out in the DD domain, the time–frequency (TF) domain, and in the time domain (TD). Sparse signal recovery algorithms like the orthogonal matching pursuit (OMP) algorithm, the subspace pursuit (SP) algorithm, and the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) based algorithm are used in target parameter estimation. The performance of these algorithms are compared in terms of their computational complexity, the root mean squared error (RMSE) in the estimates of range and velocity and PSLR value in the target profiles. Simulation results validate that the proposed CPPS OTFS based radar system could detect the targets accurately in all the three domains and produce target profiles with almost zero side lobes.
