Abstract

En 中文

Radio frequency interference (RFI) is causing performance loss in microwave radiometry, radio astronomy, and satellite communications. As the number of interferers increases, the performance loss gets more severe and RFI excision becomes more difficult. In this regard, this paper introduces the multi-linear algebra framework to the multi-interferer RFI (MI-RFI) excision research by proposing a multi-linear subspace estimation and projection (MLSEP) algorithm for single-input multiple-output (SIMO) systems suffering from MI-RFI. Having employed smoothed observation windows, a smoothed MLSEP (s-MLSEP) algorithm, which enhances MLSEP, is also proposed. MLSEP and s-MLSEP require the knowledge of the number of interferers and their respective channel order. Accordingly, a novel smoothed matrix-based joint number of interferers and channel order enumerator is proposed. Performance analyses corroborate that both MLSEP and s-MLSEP can excise all interferers when the perturbations get infinitesimally small. For such perturbations, the analyses also attest that s-MLSEP exhibit a faster convergence to a zero excision error than MLSEP which, in turn converges faster than a subspace projection algorithm. Despite its slight complexity, simulations and performance assessment on real-world data demonstrate that MLSEP outperforms projection-based RFI excision algorithms. Simulations also corroborate that s-MLSEP outperforms MLSEP as the smoothing factor gets smaller.
