用物理约束提升非视距下波达方向估计精度

Jamming and spoofing pose significant threats to wireless and satellite navigation by disrupting radio-frequency (RF) signals and compromising availability and integrity. Robust RF interference direction finding through angle-of-arrival (AoA) estimation is therefore essential for detecting and localizing anomalous signals. Although data-driven methods perform well under line-of-sight (LoS) conditions, their performance degrades in practical environments due to non-line-of-sight (NLoS) multipath propagation. In this work, we propose a hybrid learning framework that incorporates physics-informed constraints into deep neural networks to improve the robustness of AoA estimation. A neural network is trained to estimate the azimuth and elevation of incoming signals received by a four-element antenna array, while a physics-informed loss enforces consistency between the predicted angles and inter-antenna phase differences under a plane-wave model. We further introduce a latent-space classifier to distinguish LoS from NLoS samples. Since inter-antenna phase differences under LoS propagation exhibit domain-invariant structure across environments, the physics-based loss is applied only to LoS samples, promoting physically consistent and domain-invariant representations without over-constraining the model in NLoS scenarios. In addition, domain-incremental learning (DIL) across NLoS environments with varying scatterer distributions improves cross-domain generalization. Evaluations on real-world datasets show that the proposed method reduces AoA estimation error by up to 6° in low-exemplar settings compared with DIL baselines.
