DOA and polarization estimation via signal reconstruction with linear polarization-sensitive arrays

(in lingua inglese)

The signal components embedded in differently polarized array measurements are reconstructed and combined in this paper, so as to estimate the 1-D and 2-D directions of signals with different degrees of polarization and the polarization parameters of completely polarized signals. The proposed method is free of multi-dimensional searching and variable-pairing. It adapts to polarization sensitive linear arrays with different polarization directions if only the array sensors have identical structures. The proposed method also performs well in separating coherent signals and signals with different degrees of polarization.
