In general, from the waveforms of PEMI waves re- may decrease the location accuracy. To locate and remove the ceived by an antenna array, the source position can be located or PEMI source in such a multipath environment, it is necessary to the direction of arrival (DOA) of the EM waves can be estimated develop a system that can locate the position effectively [1], [2]. by applying TDOA-based methods. However, owing to noises and In recent years, a number of studies have been carried out multipath waves that occur at the metal surfaces of electric power on the source localization of a spark discharge based on signal equipment, the estimation accuracy of the TDOA may decrease, and the location accuracy will be degraded. To improve the ac- processing of the pulsed EM waves received by an antenna ar- curacy of TDOA estimation, we propose a new TDOA estimation ray [3]–[17]
