"该资源是一篇发表在IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology期刊第67卷第8期（2018年8月）的文章，主要探讨了多目标环境中的线性调频连续波（LFMCW）信号的波达方向（AOA）估计方法。由Dongheng Zhang, Ying He, Xinyu Gong, Yang Hu, Yan Chen (IEEE高级会员) 和 Bing Zeng (IEEE会士) 合著。" 文章中介绍了一种新颖的线性调频连续波（LFMCW）信号的波达方向估计算法，特别是在多目标环境下的应用。LFMCW信号由于其出色的检测灵敏度和高距离分辨率，在目标检测与定位中被广泛应用。然而，当前对于多目标环境中每个目标反射LFMCW信号的AOA估计仍然存在局限。该论文提出的方法利用一个发射天线和两个接收天线来发送宽频带LFMCW信号并接收来自不同目标的反射信号。信号处理分为三个步骤： 1. **解调**：首先，通过与发射信号混频，将接收到的宽带非平稳信号转换为一系列单音信号的叠加。这种操作有助于将复杂的宽带信号转化为可分析的形式。 2. **信号处理**：然后，对每个接收天线接收到的信号进行进一步处理。可能涉及到滤波、分帧、傅里叶变换等步骤，以便提取信号的特征。 3. **AOA估计**：最后，通过对处理后的信号进行分析，例如采用空间谱估计或阵列处理技术，来估计每个目标的到达角度。这可能包括使用双通道的相位差信息来确定信号到达的方向。该方法可能涉及到的角度估计算法包括基于最小二乘法的解决方案，或者是基于迭代优化的算法，如期望最大化（EM）算法或基于机器学习的方法。此外，文中可能还讨论了算法的性能分析，包括误差性能、计算复杂度以及在有噪声和干扰情况下的稳健性。这篇论文为多目标场景下的LFMCW信号AOA估计提供了新的思路，这对于雷达系统、无线通信和传感器网络等领域具有重要的理论和实践意义。通过优化信号处理流程，可以提高角度估计的精度和系统的整体性能。

In our system, the transmitted signal will be received by the

receiver after propagation. Suppose that the signal received by

the receiver antennas is reﬂected by a speciﬁc reﬂector. Then,

the received signal can be expressed as

can see that the received signal is a scaled and delayed version

of the transmitted signal.

As shown in Fig. 1, the received signal is the superposition

of a series of signals from different reﬂectors perturbed by the

noise of the receiver. Under the assumption that signals scatter-

ing and reﬂecting from unsmooth surface of the same reﬂector

are merged together because of the limited bandwidth, the ag-

HE PROPOSED AOA ESTIMATION ALGORITHM

In this section, we describe the proposed AOA estimation

algorithm in detail. There are mainly three steps involved in the

proposed algorithm. First, the received signal is demodulated by

mixing with the transmitted signal to transform the wideband

non-stationary signal into superposition of a series of single-

tone signals. Second, the number of reﬂectors is determined

using hypothesis tests. Third, signals from different reﬂectors

are separated using bandpass ﬁltering and the corresponding

AOA of each reﬂector is estimated using the phase difference

between two receiver antennas.

A. Preprocessing of the Received Signal

LFMCW signal is a wideband non-stationary signal. Com-

pared to the transmitted signal, the received signal is attenuated

on amplitude and delayed in time. The frequency relation be-

tween the transmitted signal and received signal is shown in

Fig. 2. By utilizing the time delay characteristic of the received

signal, we can mix the received signal with the transmitted sig-

nal to extract the information about the reﬂector. Speciﬁcally,

the mixed signal can be written as

(t)=s(t)r

(t). (7)

The ﬁrst part in (7) corresponds to the signal that is the super-

position of a series of single-tone signals from different reﬂec-

tors. In t his paper, we assume that the distances of reﬂectors are

different. The frequency of this signal corresponds to the TOF,

which is determined by the distance from the transmitter to a

reﬂector and back to the receiver. In other words, the signals re-

ﬂected from a speciﬁc distance have the same frequency and the

signals reﬂected from different distances have different frequen-

cies [24][25]. Note that although the Doppler shift will affect

the frequency of the received signal, when the frequency slope

of the LFMCW signal is high, the effect of the Doppler shift is

negligible. In such a case, bandpass ﬁlter can be used to sepa-

rate the signals from reﬂectors at different distances. The second

part in (7) corresponds to the cross-term of signal and noise. The

mixing process transforms the wideband non-stationary signals

into stationary signals with a single frequency, due to which

we can use classic signal processing techniques such as DFT to

extract the information of the signal.

In practice, the received signal is sampled by an A/D converter

to obtain its discrete version as follows:
