摘要

提出了一种融合Toeplitz重构与特征值加权降噪的嵌套阵列离格稀疏贝叶斯水声信号方位估计方法。算法通过虚拟域映射与重构获得满秩协方差矩阵，并对信号子空间特征值加权以抑制噪声并保留有效信息；进而构建离格稀疏表示模型，利用贝叶斯学习实现最大后验估计。仿真与海试实验表明，该方法仅需6个物理阵元即可估计11个信源，在低快拍和近距离多目标场景下仍保持高分辨率与稳定性；当信噪比为

Abstract

An off-grid sparse Bayesian method for underwater acoustic signals using nested arrays is proposed. The method integrates Toeplitz reconstruction and eigenvalue-weighted denoising. It constructs a fu

ll-rank covariance matrix through virtual array mapping and reconstruction，then applies eigenvalue weighting to the signal subspace to suppress noise while preserving essential information. And off-grid sparse representation model is solved by Bayesian learning for maximum a posteriori estimation. Simulation and sea trial results demonstrate that the method can estimate up to 11 sources using only 6 physical sensor elements. It maintains high resolution and stability even in scenarios with a low number of snapshots and multiple closely spaced targets. Furthermore，at a signal-to-noise ratio（SNR） of

dB， the estimation performance of the algorithm shows an improvement of 53.11% and 60.04%，compared to MUSIC and ESPRIT algorithms under the same array configuration. By effectively leveraging the degrees of freedom offered by the virtual array and suppressing noise interference，the proposed algorithm achieves more accurate direction of arrival（DOA） estimation under conditions of low SNR and a small number of snapshots，demonstrating superior robustness.
