Abstract:When mutual coupling exists in the sonar array hydrophone array element, the performance of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation will reduced. We proposed a method of direction of arrival estimation to alleviate such problem. Firstly, based on the sparse Bayesian learning (SBL)model, the spatial domain was discretized into a uniform grid, and the off-grid error was introduced. And for solving the problem of mutual coupling of the array elements, the mutual coupling coefficient vector was introduced. Secondly, the prior distribution of off-grid error and mutual coupling coefficient vector are were determined. Finally, Using the expectation maximization algorithm, the unknown parameters iteratively were updated, and spatial spectrum of target signal was obtained. The simulation results show that the proposed method has higher estimation accuracy and stronger multi-target resolution, even when the problem of unknown mutual coupling of array elements.
