Antenna array Cramér-Rao bound design by element relocation
نویسندگان
چکیده
We consider the use of an arbitrary planar array for direction-ofarrival (DOA) estimation, with the commonly used Cramér-Rao Bound (CRB) as a performance measure. By taking advantage of the cosine structure of the array Fisher information matrix (FIM), the FIM is reformulated to be completely represented by three parameters which depend on the array geometry, leading to a new FIM expression that reflects the impact of individual sensor relocations. The proposed expressions are particularly helpful for finding new sensor positions when given an objective FIM or CRB, and applies in certain more general scenarios. This usefulness is confirmed through the practical application of relocating a single sensor of an arbitrary planar array to achieve an FIM and CRB with given angular distribution.

Joint Estimation of Mutual Coupling, Element Factor, and Phase Center in Antenna Arrays
A novel method is proposed for estimation of the mutual coupling matrix of an antenna array. The method extends previous work by incorporating an unknown phase center and the element factor (antenna radiation pattern) in the model, and treating them as nuisance parameters during the estimation of coupling. To facilitate this, a parametrization of the element factor based on a truncated Fourier ...

متن کاملCramer-Rao Lower Bound for DoA Estimation with RF Lens-Embedded Antenna Array
In this paper, we consider the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for estimation of a lens-embedded antenna array with deterministic parameters. Unlike CRLB of uniform linear array (ULA), it is noted that CRLB for direction of arrival (DoA) of lens-embedded antenna array is dominated by not only angle but characteristics of lens. Derivation is based on the approximation that amplitude of received si...
