Two Novel DOA Estimation Approaches for Real-Time Assistant Calibration Systems in Future Vehicle Industrial

摘要

Intelligent transportation systems (ITSs) of industrial systems have played an important role in Internet of things (IOT). The assistant calibration system (ACS) of vehicles is an emerging technology, which services the driver to drive the vehicle safely. To solve some existing problems in ACS such as frequency pairing, vehicle localization judgment, and driving in the curve road, two direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation-based approaches are proposed to resolve these problems. However, the performance of most conventional DOA estimation algorithms is affected by the mutual coupling among the elements. The special structure of the mutual coupling matrix of the uniform linear array is applied to eliminate the effect of mutual coupling. Then, a novel on-grid DOA estimation algorithm based on compressive sensing (CS) strategies is proposed in the presence of unknown mutual coupling. In order to compensate the aperture loss of discarding information that the array receives, the array aperture is extended by the vectorization operator. In order to deal with the effect of grid mismatch, an off-grid DOA estimation algorithm based on sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) is proposed in this paper. The temporal correlation between the neighboring snapshot numbers is considered in the off-grid algorithm. The computer simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms.
