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.
