Abstract. The method is developed for spatial and polarization super-resolution based on Capon algorithm in the antenna array with vector antennas as its elements. Vector antennas provide the possibility of constructing direction-finding relief with account of polarization characteristics of the signals. Each vector antenna element consists of three orthogonal independent linear antennas. The example of five receiving signals acting from different directions and with different polarization properties is considered.

Key words: Capon algorithm, vector pattern, vector antenna, direction-finding relief, polarization properties.
