Abstract:

The response of each antenna and radio frequency component of the array is different under large signal bandwidth, resulting in channel inconsistency and serious deterioration of the spectrum estimation performance of the array. Aiming at the problems that the antenna feeder cannot be calibrated by internal calibration, the performance of the existing external calibration methods is seriously affected by noise, and the blind adaptive process depends on the reference signal, a channel equalization method based on frequency domain fitting of response estimation of single external linear frequency modulation continuous triangular wave signal source is proposed. Firstly, the rough estimation of the channel response is obtained by the eigenvalue decomposition of the sliding covariance matrix and the ideal guidance vector of the known source. Then, based on the least square criterion, the accurate estimation of the channel response is obtained by harmonic model fitting. Finally, the equalizer response is obtained by combining out of band linear expansion and frequency domain polynomial fitting. The measured data processing results show that the proposed method has higher output signal to noise ratio and smaller angle estimation mean square error than other methods.

Key words: response estimation, channel equalization, channel mismatch, frequency domain fitting
