Abstract:

Aiming at the problem of multi-polarization reception and occlusion effects of conformal arrays on complex carriers, this paper proposes an improved polarization multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm based on the pattern matrix reconstruction steering vector. First, we model the conformal antenna array. Then, after the azimuth and elevation component pattern data of each element are obtained, the pattern data is decomposed and reconstructed to the steering vector matrix of the array. Finally, we estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) and polarization parameters by the polarization MUSIC algorithm. Compared with the polarization MUSIC algorithm based on the theoretical steering vector, the improved algorithm proposed in this paper has higher estimation accuracy while avoiding the occlusion effect. It also can reduce the amount of calculation. The conclusion is verified by simulation experiments.

Key words: conformal array, direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, polarization multiple signal classification (MUSIC) algorithm, antenna pattern, matrix reconstruction
