Embodiments of the present invention provide a method and apparatus for
all-polarization direction finding. The method and apparatus generally
include acquiring measurements at least partially corresponding to an
emitted signal and generated utilizing a blind signal extraction
algorithm, forming an all-polarization cost function utilizing the
acquired measurements, and determining an angle of arrival for the
emitted signal utilizing the formed all-polarization cost function. Such
a configuration enables angles of arrivals to be easily determined for
signals having any polarization without using a multiple signal
classification (MUSIC) algorithm.
