These sensors which will be called vector sensors can consist for example of two orthogonal triads of scalar sensors that measure the electric and magnetic field components. Our approach is in contrast to other articles in this chapter that employ sensor arrays in which the output of each sensor is a scalar corresponding for example to a scalar function of the electric field. The main advantage of the vector sensors is that they make use of all available electromagnetic information and hence should outperform the scalar sensor arrays in accuracy of direction of arrival DOA estimation. Vector sensors should also allow the use of smaller array apertures while improving performance. 1 This work was supported by the . Air Force
