Abstract: |
In source localization from time difference of arrival, the impact of the sensor array geometry to the localization accuracy is not well understood yet. A first rigorous analysis can be found in [1]. It derived sufficient and necessary conditions for optimum array geometry in terms of minimum Cramer-Rao bound. This paper continues the above work and studies theoretically the localization accuracy of two-dimensional sensor arrays. It addresses different issues: a) optimum vs. uniform angular array b) near-field vs. far-field array c) using all sensor pairs vs. those with a common reference sensor as required from spherical position estimators. The paper ends up with some new insights into the sensor placement problem. |
