Abstract:

The separation of signal-and-noise subspaces is a crucial step in many array signal processing applications, since the performance of most high-resolution methods mainly depends on the accuracy of separated signal-and-noise subspaces. If the resulting signal subspace is inaccurately estimated, high-resolution subspace-based algorithms would most likely fail. In this paper, we propose a high-accuracy method to complete the separation of signal-and-noise subspaces. In the developed scheme, eigenvalues of the covariance matrix of the data received by the uniform linear array are first employed to construct an ideal sample space using the Schur product of matrices. Then, the Gaussian kernel is introduced to map the sample space into a new high-dimensional feature space, where the resulting structure becomes linearly separable. In the sequel, we propose two fuzzy set-based methods to divide the feature space into two subspaces, which correspond to the signal-and-noise subspaces. In this way, the signal subspace becomes separated. Experimental results show that, compared with the results produced by five other commonly used algorithms, the proposed method yields much higher accuracy, especially for low signal-to-noise ratio thresholds and small snapshots.
