Method for locating emitting sources by using the mutual coupling of a small-base antenna array and quick-switching single-channel receiving system implementing the method

摘要

The method involves receiving input signals of an antenna array having radiating elements by successively switching a reception channel on the radiating elements with predetermined switching period, and collecting a sample of the received signal to construct a space vector of the signal. A statistical estimator value is estimated based on modulation function of the received signal. A signal source is located based on spatial signature identification or identification of sources of direction vectors and the statistical estimator value. An independent claim is also included for a receiver system for localization of signal sources.
