Abstract

Real-world sensor arrays are typically composed of elements with individual directional beampatterns and are subject to mutual coupling, cross-polarization effects as well as mounting platform reflections. Errors in the array elements’ positions are also common in sensor arrays built in practice. Such nonidealities need to be taken into account for optimal array signal processing and in finding related performance bounds. Moreover, ...
