We study DOA(Direction Of Arrival) estimation of the independent and coherent signals with arrays of electromagnetic vector sensors.With a gating vector to select the target signal and isolate other signals
an independent signal parameter in multi-signals is estimated from multi-cumulant matrices
while other signals are suppressed.The inner product of electric and magnetic steering vectors is zero for perpendicular
which is used to filter all the independent signals in the fourth-order cumulants of the observed data.So only the coherent signals exist in the signal subspace of the cumulant matrices.The performance of multi-signals parameters estimation is improved by the separation of independent and coherent signals.Due to the suppression of any direction and number of independent interference
this algorithm has the ability to resist saturation interference and can be used as a tool for electronic warfare.The simulation experiment shows the method is stable and effective.
