Abstract

Electromagnetic vector sensors (EMVS) have promising application potential in array signal processing. but the performance of the existing algorithms might be degraded by the mutual coupling and near-field effects in practical EMVS arrays. To address this problem, a novel closed-form localization algorithm is proposed for a spatially displaced EMVS. First, the six-component EMVS is divided into dipole and loop triads, which are displaced. Then, based on the eigenstructure of the augmented EMVS signal model, direction and polarization parameters are obtained from the two triads successively. Finally, the range parameters are calculated by an exact trigonometric geometric expression. Compared with the traditional methods, the proposed algorithm is computationally more efficient and avoids the bias introduced by quadric approximation. Moreover, the spacing between the two triads can be extended by more than a half wavelength. And the spacing of this size could decrease the mutual coupling effect. Simulation results make evidence that the proposed algorithm for multiple near-field sources parameter estimation are both the efficient and effective.
