Abstract
Accurate ionospheric channel estimation is of great significance for acquisition of ionospheric structure, error correction of remote sensing data, high-precision Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging, over-the-horizon (OTH) detection, and the establishment of stable communication links. Traditional super-resolution channel estimation algorithms face challenges in terms of multipath correlation and noise interference when estimating ionospheric channel information. Meanwhile, some super-resolution algorithms struggle to meet the requirements of real-time measurement due to their high computational complexity. In this paper, we propose the Cross-correlation Oblique Projection Pursuit (CC-OPMP) algorithm, which constructs an atom selection strategy for anti-interference correlation metric and a dual-space multipath separation mechanism based on a greedy framework to effectively suppress noise and separate neighboring multipath components. Simulations demonstrate that the CC-OPMP algorithm outperforms other algorithms in both channel estimation accuracy and computational efficiency.
