morphological characterization. Analysis of ...
Aperture Maximization with Half-Wavelength Spacing, via a 2-Circle Concentric Array Geometry that is Uniform but Sparse
(2019-05)
This paper proposes a new sensor-array geometry (the 2-circle concentric array geometry),
that maximizes the array's spatial aperture mainly for bivariate azimuth-polar resolution of
direction-of-arrival estimation ...
