Mean square inverse beam pattern and pointing error are examined. Special attention is paid to the effects of reference sensor and correlation between sensors. It is shown that fluctuation causes broadening or even distortion of the mean square inverse beam pattern. Phase fluctuation causes pointing error. Its standard variance is proportional to that of fluctuation and is related to the number of sensors of the array. Correlation between sensors has important effects on pointing error.展开更多

A two-dimensional direction finding method using an L-shape electromagnetic vector sensors array is proposed. According to this method, the DOAs of the independent signals and the coherent signals are estimated separately, so that the array aperture can be exploited sufficiently. Firstly, the DOAs of the independent signals are estimated by the estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques, and the influence of the co- herent signals can be eliminated by utilizing the property of the coherent signals. Then the data covariance matrix containing the information of the coherent signals only is obtained by exploiting the Toeplitz property of the independent signals, and an improved polarimetric angular smoothing technique is proposed to de-correlate the coherent signals. This new method is more practical in actual signal environment than common DOA estimation algorithms and can expand the array aperture. Simulation results are presented to show the estimating performance of the proposed method.展开更多
