Method for estimating the position E m of a transmitter comprising a transmit antenna on the basis of a moving sensor network installed on a carrier, comprising, in combination, at least the following steps: a) determining a set of direction vectors {â ml,..., a mL} corresponding to the response of the sensor network of the carrier to a transmitter having a position E m, direction (Θ k, Δ k) and polarization p k for 1≤k≤L, b) constructing a normalized vector b̂ mk, corresponding to a noisy measurement â mk of the direction vector which is the response of the antenna network at the time t k of a transmitter having a position E m of which the transmit antenna is parameterized by the coefficients c m on the basis of estimated values of the direction vectors {â ml,..., â mL}, characterized in that c) constructing a "large observation vector" by considering L observations for the transmitter having a position E m for L times t k which is modelled by b ^ L = b ^ m 1 ⋮ b ^ mL = b L E m c m + e ̃ L where b L E m c m = b E t 1 c ⋮ b E t L c c m corresponds to the parameters of the antenna of the transmitter and ê L. is the measurement noise of the direction vectors of the sensor network, d) determining the position E m of the transmitter by identifying the parameters E m and c m of the transmit antenna of the transmitter which, from a set of parameters (E, c), maximizes the correlation between the measurement b̂ L of the large observation vector and the modelled vector b L ( E, c) parameterized by the possible values of position E and the parameters c of the transmit antenna of the transmitter to be located: E ^ m c ^ m = max E m c m J L E c where J L E c = b L E c H b ^ L 2 b ^ L H b ^ L b L E c H b L E c, with superscript H corresponds to the transpose. a) determining a set of direction vectors {â ml,..., a mL} corresponding to the response of the sensor network of the carrier to a transmitter having a position E m, direction (Θ k, Δ k) and polarization p k for 1≤k≤L, b) constructing a normalized vector b̂ mk, corresponding to a noisy measurement â mk of the direction vector which is the response of the antenna network at the time t k of a transmitter having a position E m of which the transmit antenna is parameterized by the coefficients c m on the basis of estimated values of the direction vectors {â ml,..., â mL}, characterized in that c) constructing a "large observation vector" by considering L observations for the transmitter having a position E m for L times t k which is modelled by b ^ L = b ^ m 1 ⋮ b ^ mL = b L E m c m + e ̃ L where b L E m c m = b E t 1 c ⋮ b E t L c c m corresponds to the parameters of the antenna of the transmitter and ê L. is the measurement noise of the direction vectors of the sensor network, d) determining the position E m of the transmitter by identifying the parameters E m and c m of the transmit antenna of the transmitter which, from a set of parameters (E, c), maximizes the correlation between the measurement b̂ L of the large observation vector and the modelled vector b L ( E, c) parameterized by the possible values of position E and the parameters c of the transmit antenna of the transmitter to be located: E ^ m c ^ m = max E m c m J L E c where J L E c = b L E c H b ^ L 2 b ^ L H b ^ L b L E c H b L E c, with superscript H corresponds to the transpose.
