NEAR FIELD CYCLOSTATIONARY SOURCE LOCALIZATION BY SECOND ORDER CYCLIC CUMMULANT

Xuezhi Yan, Shuxun Wang, Zhongsheng Ma and Yukuan Ma College of Communication Engineering Jilin University Changchun, China

Abstract: Most exiting array signal processing techniques for direction finding rely heavily on the far-field assumption. When the sources are located close to the array, these techniques may no longer perform satisfactorily. Most modulated communication signals exhibit cyclostationarity. Many cyclostationarity-based methods have been proposed to improve signal detection capability. In this paper a new algorithm for near-field sources localization is presented based on second order cyclic cummulant. Under the cases of existing interference and different distributed noises, the simulation results indicate that the proposed method can remove cyclostationary interference with different cyclic frequency from the desired signals. Furthermore, it can effectively suppress additive stationary noises with any distribution. Keywords: near-field source, cyclostationarity, noise

Introduction: An important problem in a wide variety of application such as radar, sonar, speech, communication, etc. is locating in space the sources of signals received by an array of sensors. Most attention has been restricted to the model of far-field. In 2-D far-field source localization, a source's location is characterized only by its bearing angle because the wavefront from a far-field source can be assumed to be planar for a uniform linear array of sensor (ULA). However, when sources are located close to the array the assumption is no longer valid. The wavefront in such cases is spherical. In 2-D near-field source localization, a source's location is characterized by its bearing angle and range. The increase in number of parameter caused the algorithm based on the far-field assumptation can no longer be directly applied so substitution must be found. Some work addressing the near-field problem in 2-D has been performed. Spatial Wigner-Ville[1] algorithm proposed by A.L. Swindlehurst et al. can locate the near-field sources but it requires large array if high resolution is needed. Huang et al[2] proposed the 2-D MUSIC algorithm which requires 2-D grid search on the bearing angle and range to identify the peak of MUSIC spectrum. This algorithm is easily to simulate but it is computed inefficiently. Weiss et al. [3] estimated source locations using a polynomial rooting method thereby reducing the computational burden to some extent, however, the algorithm still requires bulk of computations. Starer et al. [4] and Lee et al. [5] proposed pass-following algorithms to reduce the computational burden with two 1-D searches. In wireless communications, since most signals are non-Gaussian and cyclostationary due to modulation [6], Lee et al. [7] proposed a GIBE method to estimate the near-field cyclostationary signals, but it can only estimate the bearing and can not estimate the range parameter. In this paper we present a MUSIC algorithm based on second order cyclic cummulant which can not only remove cyclostationary interference with different cyclic frequency from the desired signals but also can suppress additive stationary noises with any distribution. Furthermore, it can effectively estimate the bearing and range of near-field multiple sources.

Discussion: Simulation of remove cyclostationary interference signal and suppress additive stationary noises any distribution

According to [8], the range of the near field is approximately r where

In order to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm, computer simulations for testing signal selectivity, noise suppression are conducted. We consider seventeen-element array spaced as in Figure1. The sensor outputs are collected at the rate =4MHz, the speed of

propagation is c m/s. The length of samples is

is also BPSK signals with 1.6MHz baud rate. So the SOI's cyclic frequency is α

SNR is 20 db. Based on the proposed method the spatial spectrum contour figures are shown in figure 2 and figure 3 with 20 times monte carlo simulation each.

In Figure2 the noise is allow exponential distribution, In Figure3 the noise is allow logarithmic normal distribution, From the experiment results we can see that the cyclostationary interference with different cyclic frequency is removed and the noise is suppressed with the proposed algorithm.

Conclusion: In this paper we present an algorithm based on second order cyclic cummulant which can remove cyclostationary interference with different cyclic frequency from the desired signals and can suppress additive stationary noises with any distribution. Furthermore, it can effectively estimate the bearing and range of near-field multiple sources.
