Algorithmic steps of the proposed algorithm.

Step No.Operation

Step 1Estimate the noiseless covariance matrix through (10)
Step 2Rearrange the covariance measurement into a fourth-order tensor via (12), and perform HOSVD on
Step 3Construct from (17), and then, get via the Hermitian unfolding of
Step 4Perform eigendecomposition on to get the signal subspace
Step 5Calculate , and perform eigendecomposition on it to get and
Step 6To get , , , and via (26)
Step 7Estimate via (30), and then, get the 2D-DOA through (31)
Step 8Estimate via (37), and compute through (38). Finally, get the polarization parameters via (39)
