In the real world, the sensors may dislocate from their nominal positions. These dislocations could be modeled as random variables having an a priori known distribution. This paper investigates how the dislocations would affect azimuth-elevation direction finding by deriving the corresponding hybrid Cramer-Rao bounds. Maximum a posteriori estimators are derived and Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to validate the derived hybrid Cramer-Rao boundsenThe hybrid Cramer-Rao bound of direction finding by a uniform circular array of isotropic sensors that suffer stochastic dislocationsArticle
