Abstract

A matching pursuit algorithm for regularization backtracking based on QR decomposition (QR-RBMP) is proposed in this paper to solve the problems of low precision of directional of arrival (DOA) estimation in the cases of low signal noise ratio (SNR), small snapshot and coherent signals. Firstly, the algorithm is performed on sensing matrix by QR decomposition to increase the independence of the sensing matrix. Then, the regularization idea and backtracking mechanism are used to optimize matching pursuit algorithm to improve the signal reconstruction precision. The regularization idea carries out secondary screening on the atoms initially selected by the matching tracking algorithm, and selects the most relevant atoms with the largest energy. The backtracking idea carries out secondary screening on the atoms selected by the regularization, deletes the incorrect atoms, improves the correctness of the selected atoms, and thus improves the reconstruction accuracy of the matching tracking algorithm. Finally, we obtain the reconstructed signal. The position of the non-zero element of the signal is the result of DOA estimation. Through a series of simulation experiments, the proposed algorithm is compared with MUSIC algorithm, regularized orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm (ROMP), subspace tracking algorithm, SP algorithm without Square Root (ISP) and energy sorting based backtracking regularized matching pursuit algorithm (ESBRMP) based on RMSE and POR. The results show that the proposed algorithm reduces the RMSE by 42% and improves the POR by 8% compared with the existing optimal methods under the same conditions.
