基于非凸组稀疏重构的小样本下稳健自适应波束形成

    Nonconvex Group Sparse Reconstruction-Based Robust Adaptive Beamforming Under Limited Training Samples

    • 摘要: 现有稳健自适应波束形成通常采用不确定集约束、最差情况性能最优等方法来改善干扰抑制性能,但这些方法通常需要较多的训练样本数,计算复杂度较高,且未能利用阵列导向矢量误差先验知识。为此,本文针对小样本下阵列通道间存在幅相误差时的自适应波束形成问题,提出一种基于范数稀疏正则的干扰信号和幅相误差联合估计方法。首先,建立阵列通道存在幅相误差时的干扰信号组稀疏表示模型;然后,建立基于范数组稀疏约束的干扰信号和幅相误差联合重构问题模型;最后,利用交替方向乘子法进行干扰信号和幅相误差的准确估计,重构出干扰加噪声协方差矩阵(INCM),并基于最大信干噪比准则生成自适应波束形成器。仿真结果表明,本文所提方法有效提高了INCM的估计精度和波束形成器的输出SINR。

       

      Abstract: Existing robust adaptive beamforming (RAB) methods usually employ schemes including uncertainty set constraints and worst-case performance optimization to enhance interference suppression performance. However, these methods generally require a large number of training samples, incur high computational complexity and fail to leverage prior knowledge of array steering vector errors. To address this issue, this paper focuses on adaptive beamforming in the presence of array gain-phase errors under limited samples, and proposes a -norm sparsity-regularized processing method for joint estimation of interferences and gain-phase errors. First, a group-sparse representation of interferences is established in the existence of gain-phase errors. Then a joint recovery problem for interferences and gain-phase errors is formulated based on the group-sparsity constraint using -norm. Finally, the alternating direction method of multipliers is leveraged to accurately estimate the interferences and gain-phase errors, reconstruct the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix (INCM), and yield an adaptive beamformer based on the maximum signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) criterion. Numerical results demonstrate that the proposed method effectively improves the estimation accuracy of INCM and the output SINR of beamformer.
