Abstract:

The traditional Multiple Signal Classification (MUSIC) method has high angle resolution and estimation accuracy, but the high computation complexity and poor real-timeliness involved in using the method for subspace decomposition and spectral peak search greatly limit its practical application in array radar systems. To address the problem that the angle estimation performance of array radar is limited when the computing power is limited, a low-complexity Nyström-MUSIC method based on prior information is proposed. The Nyström approximation is successively exploited to decrease the dimension of the covariance matrix and the prior angle information to determine the spectral peak search in a small area. The matrix size of the subspace decomposition and the time of spectral search are reduced, and finally the computation complexity of MUSIC method is effectively reduced. Simulation results illustrate that compared with the traditional MUSIC method, the low-complexity Nyström-MUSIC method based on prior information reduces the computation complexity by 8 times and cuts the running time by more than 80% under the condition of comparable resolution performance and estimation accuracy. It is verified that the method proposed can realize fast and high-precision estimation of the target azimuth.
