Abstract :
Direction finding (DF) performance is assessed for an array of airborne vector sensors whose manifold is perturbed. A calibration algorithm explicitly accounting for the polarization diverse nature of the vector sensor is developed. DF performance improvements are demonstrated with use of the proposed calibration algorithm
