Abstract
Shown herein is a specific application to an existing algorithm and technique: the advantages of using a diversely polarized antenna array to perform direction finding on multiple narrow-band signals co-located in frequency via an extension to the MUSIC algorithm. The original MUSIC algorithm has been extended to support diverse polarization and is applied here to a circular array of H-plane sectoral horn antennas. The results clearly show that direction finding on multiple signals simultaneously is not only possible in the scenario described, but can resolve differently-polarized, very closely spaced signals better than a uniformly polarized array. The MUSIC algorithm with the diverse polarization extension are described mathematically and discussed in detail for the purposes of this specific application.
