Abstract
In passive localization techniques, as the scale of the array of the sensors used increases, the source distribution may be a coexistence of near-field (NF) and far-field (FF) sources. Most of the existing algorithms dedicated to the localization of mixed-field sources are based on a simplified model, which has model errors and cannot make good use of non-circular properties when non-circular signals are present in the sources. In this paper, we present a mixed-field circular and non-circular source localization algorithm based on exact spatial propagation geometry. First, we make an initial estimate of the source parameters using exact spatial geometry relations. The MUSIC algorithm is then used in combination with the non-circular properties of the signal to achieve an accurate estimate. The algorithm does not lose performance due to model mismatch and is able to make good use of the non-circular properties of the sources to improve the estimation accuracy. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively distinguish between sources and that the algorithm performs satisfactorily.
