Abstract

This correspondence presents a RELAX (RELAXation-based) algorithm for angle, polarization, and waveform estimation of completely polarized narrowband electromagnetic plane waves arriving at a uniform linear co-centered orthogonal loop and dipole (COLD) array. We use numerical examples to demonstrate the performance of the RELAX algorithm for parameter estimation with the COLD array and compare it with the performance of the MODE (Method of Direction Estimation) algorithm. We show that this RELAX algorithm can outperform MODE and yet be computationally faster than MODE.
