Abstract:

To solve the problems of poor stability, low resolution, and performance degradation under low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the direction of arrival (DoA) estimation, a space-time division cluster (STDC) DoA estimation algorithm was proposed for under water acoustic (UWA) spread spectrum signal.The idea of the time-frequency two-dimensional search was used to combine the conventional beamforming with the spread spectrum sequence, set the angle interval to search the incidence angle and the arrival delay of the spread-spectrum signal, and increased the spatial spectrum to the delay angle spectrum, which kept the high resolution.STDC-DoA estimation can be anti-interference and stable operation under low SNR by using the characteristics of spread spectrum sequence.Finally, through simulation and pool experiment, it was proved that compared with the traditional DoA estimation algorithm, the proposed algorithm has better performance in anti-interference, resolution, and anti-noise.Meanwhile, the proposed algorithm does not need signal source number estimation and angle prediction and has more robust performance.
