FMCW Radar Signal DOA Estimation Method Based on the Third-Order Cross Cumulant Under High Interference
In order to handle the realistic issue of mutual interference in vehicle-mounted frequency-modulated con-tinuous wave radars,this paper proposes a super-resolution direction of arrival estimation approach based on the third-or-der cross cumulant.According to the property of non-correlation between the echo signals and the interference signals,the method uses the synchronously sampled array signals to build a third-order cross cumulant matrix,which is then used to obtain a two-dimensional spatial spectrum using the subspace method for joint range and bearing estimation.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed method can suppress the effect of strong interference and identify multiple targets within 3 degrees.Compared with the existing super-resolution and reconstruction methods,the method has higher angular resolution and estimation accuracy.
