Source localization with distributed electromagnetic component sensor array processing

Abstract

We propose an approach to achieve high-performance localisation of multiple sources using a small aperture array of spatially-distributed electric and magnetic component sensors. The approach is based on exploiting of all available electromagnetic information along with the time, delay information. Using simulated data, we demonstrate that this approach outperforms both a single, vector-sensor and scalar-sensor arrays in accuracy of direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation.
