Cyclic Relation Method for DOA and Polarization Parameters Estimation of Arbitrary Polarized Array

Abstract

Focus on the estimation for DOA and polarization parameters of electromagnetic sensor array, this paper proposes the method that uses cyclic relation function to substitute for covariance matrix. Because cyclic statistic is less sensitive to stable noise and any cyclic stable noise with different cyclic frequency, the method proposed is immune to any stable color noise. This method use minimum norm method to solve the spectrum function. So this method can restrict the effect of the cyclic relation matrix estimating error. Computer simulation experiments prove the performance of this method.
