Abstract :
Studies three polarization estimation techniques with a uniform linear array of crossed dipoles. All three techniques may be used to compute the polarization estimates of impinging narrow-band electromagnetic plane waves. Numerical results are presented to compare the performance of the estimators. The numerical results are also used to compare the Monte Carlo simulation results with those obtained through theoretical analysis at high signal-to-noise ratio
