摘要:The occurrence of an overlapping signal is a significant problem in performing multiple objects localization. Doppler velocity is sensitive to the echo shape and is also able to be connected to the physical properties of moving objects, especially for a pulse compression ultrasonic signal. The expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm has the ability to achieve signal separation. Thus, applying the EM algorithm to the overlapping pulse compression signals is of interest. This paper describes a proposed method, based on the EM algorithm, of Doppler velocity estimation for overlapping linear-period-modulated (LPM) ultrasonic signals. Simulations are used to validate the proposed method.
