Abstract

We have developed a high-resolution ESPRIT-based method for estimating the directions-of-arrival of partially polarized signals with electromagnetic vector sensors, each of which provides measurements of the complete electric and magnetic fields induced by electromagnetic signals. The method is computationally efficient since unlike many high-resolution methods, it does not involve searching across a multidimensional array manifold. In addition, the method has two variants, of which one is applicable to scenarios where a priori information about the array system, such as the sensor positions, is unavailable
