Greco We discuss two fast algorithms to localize multiple sources in near field. The symmetry-based method proposed by Zhi and Chia 2007 is first improved by implementing a search-free procedure for the reduction of computation cost. We present then a focusing-based method which does not require symmetric array configuration. By using focusing technique the near-field signal model is transformed into a model possessing the same structure as in the far-field situation which allows the bearing estimation with the well-studied far-field methods. With the estimated bearing the range estimation of each source is consequently obtained by using 1D MUSIC method without parameter pairing. The performance of the improved symmetry-based method and the proposed focusing-based method is compared by Monte Carlo simulations and with Crammer-Rao bound as well. Unlike other near-field algorithms these two approaches require neither high-computation cost nor high-order statistics. Copyright 2008 Hongyang He et al.
