Abstract
- This paper investigates the problem of mixed far-field (FF) and near-field (NF) source localization using a linear electromagnetic-vector-sensor array with gain/phase uncertainties. Firstly, several special fourth-order cumulant matrices are constructed, such that the shift invariance structure in the cumulant domain can be derived to estimate the DOA and polarization angles of each source at two electromagnetic vector sensors (EMVSs). Then, by computing the determinant of the coefficient matrix, the sources types can be classified with the prior knowledge of the number of both the FF and NF sources. On this basis, the range of NF sources and the DOAs of mixed sources at the phase reference point are captured subsequently. Finally, these estimates can be employed to generate the unknown gain/phase errors. Compared to the existing methods, the proposed one exploits both the spatial and polarization information of sources and provides a satisfactory parameters estimation performance under unknown phase/gain responses. Moreover, it does not need to perform any spectral search and not impose restriction on EMVSs placement, as well as realizes a more reasonable classification of the signal types. Simulations are carried out to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
