Optimal Polarization Design for Direction Finding Using Mimo Electromagnetic Vector- Sensor Array
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, transmitter polarization optimization is firstly proposed to improve the accuracy of azimuth-elevation arrival angles estimation within MIMO electromagnetic vector-sensor array (EMVA). Minimizing of Cramér-Rao bound is used as cost function for the optimal design of transmitting signal polarization. Computer simulation results verify that the optimal polarization design provides increased estimation accuracy of direction finding in MIMO-EMVA, compared with that of using fixed polarization of transmitting signal. Moreover, the optimal polarization design retains all advantages of using fixed polarization of transmitting signal for MIMO-EMVA direction finding.

In this paper, we focus on the problem of two-dimensional direction of arrival (2D-DOA) estimation for monostatic MIMO Radar with electromagnetic vector received sensors (MIMO-EMVSs) under the condition of gain and phase uncertainties (GPU) and mutual coupling (MC). GPU would spoil the invariance property of the EMVSs in MIMO-EMVSs, thus the effective ESPRIT algorithm unable to be used directly...
