An Angle Estimation Method for Monostatic MIMO Radar Based on RCC-FLOM Algorithm

The performance of the angle estimation algorithm based on the two-order or higher order cumulants in the impact noise background will decline sharply. Therefore, it is necessary to study the new algorithm to estimate target angle in the impact noise background. In order to solve the angle estimation problem of coherent sources in the impulse noise background, a conjugate rotation invariant subspace algorithm based on reduced order fractional lower order covariance matrix is proposed. Use the reduced dimension lower order fraction covariance matrix to reduce the impulse noise influence. And according to the conjugate rotation invariant subspace, the coherent source is decohered. The Monte-Carlo experiments show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of high estimation probability and low root mean square error in the case of low signal-to-noise ratio, compared with the existing FLOM-MUSIC algorithm and FLOM-Unitary ESPRIT algorithm
