2D-DOA Estimation for EMVS Array with Nonuniform Noise

Electromagnetic vector sensor (EMVS) array is one of the most potential arrays for future wireless communications and radars because it is capable of providing two-dimensional (2D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation as well as polarization angles of the source signal. It is well known that existi...

description Electromagnetic vector sensor (EMVS) array is one of the most potential arrays for future wireless communications and radars because it is capable of providing two-dimensional (2D) direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation as well as polarization angles of the source signal. It is well known that existing subspace algorithm cannot directly be applied to a nonuniform noise scenario. In this paper, we consider the 2D-DOA estimation issue for EMVS array in the presence of nonuniform noise and propose an improved subspace-based algorithm. Firstly, it recasts the nonuniform noise issue as a matrix completion problem. The noiseless array covariance matrix is then recovered via solving a convex optimization problem. Thereafter, the shift invariant principle of the EMVS array is adopted to construct a normalized polarization steering vector, after which 2D-DOA is easily estimated as well as polarization angles by incorporating the vector cross-product technique and the pseudoinverse method. The proposed algorithm is effective to EMVS array with arbitrary sensor geometry. Furthermore, the proposed algorithm is free from the nonuniform noise. Several simulations verify the improvement of the proposed method.
