Numerical performance of a tensor music algorithm based on HOSVD for a mixture of polarized sources

International audienceIn this paper, we develop an improved tensor MUSIC algorithm adapted to multidimensional data by means of multilinear algebra tools. This approach allows to preserve the multidimensional structure as the signal and the noise subspaces are estimated from the Higher Order Singular Value Decomposition (HOSVD) of the covariance tensor. The proposed algorithm is applied to a polarized source model. By computing the Mean Squared Error (MSE) for different scenarios, the performance of this method is compared to the classical MUSIC algorithm as well as the vector MUSIC algorithm that includes the polarization information. The simulations show that our algorithm outperforms the vector algorithms
