Abstract :
This paper shows (1) how measurement of the three Cartesian components of the electrical-field or magnetic-field suffices for multisource azimuth/elevation direction finding and polarization estimation, and (2) how the vector cross-product direction-of-arrival estimator is fully applicable even when the dipole triad is arbitrarily displaced from the loop triad
