Abstract:
Azimuthal centrosymmetry in an array grid is typically associated with arrays that are circular, concentric, cylindrical, spherical, or hemispherical. However, a recently proposed alternative combines an azimuthal circular array with a linear vertical array. For this elegantly simple new array grid's use in the direction-of-arrival estimation, this article advances array-design insights to meet a given estimation-precision threshold, by examining the tradeoff between the azimuth-angle Cramér-Rao bound vis-a-vis the polar-angle Cramér-Rao bound in a proposed two-step design procedure.
