摘要:

DOA估计是无人机应用中的一个重要任务。然而,城市复杂的电磁传播环境会降低传统基于模型驱动的DOA估计方法的性能。为了减轻环境影响,提出一种基于深度学习的DOA估计方法。具体而言,该方法采用复值卷积神经网络,以便更好的表征无人机无线信号的复包络特性。本文使用复数域概率来构建复值卷积神经网络映射函数,并进一步分析了影响复值卷积神经网络收敛性的因素。数值仿真的结果表明,针对DOA估计任务,复值卷积神经网络在收敛速度、准确性和鲁棒性等方面都优于传统的实值卷积神经网络。

Abstract:

Abstract—Direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation is an important task in many unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) applications.However, the complicated electromagnetic wave propagation in urban environments substantially deteriorates the performance of many conventional model-driven DOA estimation approaches.To alleviate this, a deep learning based DOA estimation approach is proposed in this paper.Specifically, a complex-valued convolutional neural network (CCNN) is designed to fit the electromagnetic UAV signal with complex envelope better.In the CCNN design,we construct some mapping functions using quantum probabilities, and further analyze some factors which may impact the convergence of complex-valued neural networks.Numerical simulations show that the proposed CCNN converges faster than the real convolutional neural network, and the DOA estimation result is more accurate and robust.
