Radio Emitters Location through the Use of Matrix-Pencil Super-Resolution Algorithm

Abstract

This article focuses on the location of radiating sources using calculations encompassing wide ranges of an electromagnetic signal. The purpose of using the Matrix Pencil algorithm is to consider the distance at which the transmitting antennas are, implementing a measurement procedure throughout simulations. In order to do these simulations we use a tool whose algorithm is based on the UTD (Uniform Theory of Diffraction) and/or ray tracing and that determines the value of the real surroundings electromagnetic field under study and that is validated to provide trustworthy results in a reduced runtime. Thus the signal spatial signature is observed. A new and simple approach for estimating distances through Matrix Pencil is presented. The technique discussed in this article proceeds from using the Matrix Pencil super-resolution algorithm and vary only, but importantly, in how this sum of complex exponentials are use in achieving the parameter estimation.
