The application of dipole acoustic vector sensor to estimate the direction of arrive (DOA) signal was studied. The acoustic vector sensor signal processing of narrow-band was developed to wide-band processing by the application of discrete Fourier transform. Methods used in determining DOA were derived. The computer simulation indicates that the estimation precision of DOA is mostly higher than 2°. The efficiency of acoustic vector sensor signal processing algorithms are also demonstrated by the direction estimation of real underwater acoustic targets.
