摘要:

级联毫米波雷达将多个射频芯片进行级联, 可实现大规模多输入多输出(multiple-input multiple-output, MIMO)天线阵列。然而, 现有毫米波雷达的测角方法存在精确度不足、旁瓣过高等问题。对此, 提出一种基于稀疏矩阵填充的级联毫米波雷达高分辨测角方法。首先, 建立级联毫米波雷达二维稀疏阵列的阵列信号模型。然后, 将该阵列的单快拍信号构造为低秩汉克尔(Hankel)矩阵, 使用加权非精确增广拉格朗日乘子法进行稀疏矩阵填充, 并将填充后的矩阵转化为均匀虚拟阵列的单快拍信号。最后, 使用常规波束形成(conventional beamforming, CBF)方法估计目标角度信息并进行配对。仿真和实测实验结果表明, 所提方法能够精确地估计目标角度信息, 并有效抑制峰值旁瓣电平。

Abstract:

Cascaded millimeter wave radar cascades multiple radio frequency chips to realize large-scale multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) antenna array. However, the existing angle measurement methods of millimeter wave radar have problems such as insufficient accuracy and high sidelobes. To solve these problems, a high resolution angle measurement method for cascaded millimeter wave radar is proposed based on sparse matrix completion. Firstly, a two-dimensional sparse array signal model of the cascaded millimeter wave radar is established. Then, the single snapshot signal of the array is converted into a low-rank Hankel matrix, the weighted inexact augmented Lagrange multiplier method is used for sparse matrix completion, and the completed matrix is converted into the single snapshot signal of uniform virtual array. Finally, conventional beamforming (CBF) method is used to estimate the angles of the targets and the angles of the targets are paired. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed method can accurately estimate the angles of the targets and effectively suppress peak sidelobe level.

Key words: cascaded millimeter wave radar, direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, sparse matrix, matrix completion
