The best method for defining an electrostatic or an electromagnetic turbulence in a space plasma, based on the simultaneous measurement of several wave-field components at several points in space is sought. The turbulent field is supposed to be stationary in time and homogeneous. An estimate of the field-energy distribution, which specifies how the field energy is distributed with regard to the angular frequency and to the wave-number, is derived from a generalization of the Capon high resolution method. Applications to the Cluster and Regatta missions are discussed from the analysis of simulated data. Experimental constraints are examined, particularly the number of satellites, the measure field components, and the accuracy in the measurements (distance between satellites, time synchronization).
