Abstract

We develop vector-sensor array processing to estimate the angles-of-arrival (AOAs) and time delays of multipath channels in the space-time-polarization domain. A MUSIC-type algorithm for joint angle and delay estimation with a vector-sensor array is derived. Potential applications include multipath channel estimation and mobile localization. Simulation results show that the space-time-polarization parameterization of the multipath channels results in improved accuracy and resolution performance
