چکیده
A new approach to the problem of joint azimuth-elevation-carrier (AEC) estimation of narrowband signals is introduced. The proposed approach makes it possible to solve the problem by using only spatial samples taken by volume antenna arrays. The sufficient conditions in terms of array geometry are formulated and proved. The simulation shows that the iterative Newton-based maximum likelihood (ML) AEC estimator has a performance close to the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB). One major advantage of the proposed approach is its simplicity for practical implementation that could be attractive in many real world applications.

In this paper, the modified matrix pencil method [1] is extended from 2D to 3D for simultaneously estimating azimuth and elevation angles and frequency of multiple signals impinging on a volumetric array of sensors. Conventional matrix pencil method, which is used to estimate unknown parameters, needs a separate algorithm to associate the estimated components with each other to get proper group...

Depending on the aperture extension (AE), a high performance three-dimensional (3D) near-field (NF) source localization algorithm is proposed with the nonuniform linear array (NLA). The proposed algorithm first generates some fictitious sensors to extend the array aperture by constructing a new Toeplitz matrix, and then obtains a two-dimensional (2D) covariance matrix which only contains the el...

In the context of passive sources localization using antenna array, the estimation accuracy of elevation, and azimuth are related not only to the kind of estimator which is used, but also to the geometry of the considered antenna array. Although there are several available results on the linear array, and also for planar arrays, other geometries existing in the literature, such as 3D arrays, ha...
