Azimuth, elevation, and polarization estimation for arbitrary polarimetric array configurations

In this paper we propose an algorithm for high-resolution, joint azimuth, elevation and polarization estimation using polarimetric arrays of arbitrary geometry. The array elements may be placed on a planar or conformal surface and all the array imperfections are considered jointly. In particular, we focus on real-world arrays with imperfections. The Crameacuter-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) for polarimetric arrays is established taking into account imperfections of the array.
