Wide-Null Interference Suppression in Adaptive Beamforming Based on a Novel Fastest Iterative Method

摘要: 雷达、声呐和无线通信等应用对于自适应波束形成的抗干扰能力和实时性提出了更高的要求。传统基于最速迭代的自适应波束形成算法在低快拍、相干干扰条件下的干扰抑制性能急剧下降,无法有效捕捉信号特征对干扰进行有效抑制。另外,当干扰存在扰动且导向矢量失配时,也无法有效抑制干扰。针对上述问题,本文提出了一种基于最速方法的宽零陷干扰抑制自适应波束形成方法。该方法首先通过一种基于空间平滑的权值预处理机制对信号进行解相干,提取信号特征,构建投影矩阵,获取初始权值;随后通过最速迭代抑制干扰,形成波束;最后结合协方差矩阵重构方法对零陷进行展宽与加深,进一步提升算法的干扰抑制能力和稳健性。仿真实验验证了所提算法在宽带相干干扰条件下,能够有效抑制干扰且稳健性较好。Abstract: Applications such as radar, sonar, and wireless communication have increased the requirements for the anti-interference ability and real-time performance of adaptive beamforming. The conventional adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the fastest iteration exhibits a sharp decline in interference suppression performance under low snapshot and coherent interference conditions and cannot effectively capture the signal characteristics to effectively suppress interference. Moreover, under interference disturbance and steering vector mismatch conditions, it cannot effectively suppress the interference. To address these issues, this study proposes a wide-null interference suppression adaptive beamforming method based on the steepest descent approach. The method first uses a spatial smoothing-based weight pre-processing mechanism to decorrelate signals, extract signal features, and construct a projection matrix to obtain initial weights. Then, it suppresses interference using the steepest descent algorithm to form the beam. Finally, a null broadening and deepening method, based on covariance matrix reconstruction, is used to further enhance the interference suppression capability and improve the algorithm’s robustness. Simulation results verified that the proposed algorithm effectively suppressed interference under wideband coherent interference conditions and demonstrated good robustness.
