Elevation, azimuth, and polarization estimation with nested electromagnetic vector-sensor arrays via tensor modeling

Abstract In this paper, we address the joint estimation problem of elevation, azimuth, and polarization with nested array consists of complete six-component electromagnetic vector-sensors (EMVS). Taking advantage of the tensor permutation, we convert the sample covariance matrix of the receive data...

description Abstract In this paper, we address the joint estimation problem of elevation, azimuth, and polarization with nested array consists of complete six-component electromagnetic vector-sensors (EMVS). Taking advantage of the tensor permutation, we convert the sample covariance matrix of the receive data into a tensorial form which provides enhanced degree-of-freedom. Moreover, the parameter estimation issue with the proposed model boils down to a Vandermonde constraint Canonical Polyadic Decomposition problem. The structured least squares estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques is tailored for joint auto-pairing elevation, azimuth, and polarization estimation, ending up with a computational efficient method that avoids exhaustive searching over spatial and polarization region. Furthermore, the sufficient uniqueness analysis of our proposed approach is addressed, and the stochastic Cramér-Rao bound for underdetermined parameter estimation is derived. Simulation results are given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
