The use of differential geometry in array signal processing

Abstract

This paper reports some investigative results obtained through the application of differential geometry to the array manifold of a direction finding (DF) sensor array. It emphasises the crucial but so far disregarded role of the array manifold in the performance of subspace‐based direction finding (DF) algorithms and then proceeds to a compact mathematical analysis of the array manifold using the tools of differential geometry. The results thus obtained are used to quantify the effects of the array manifold properties on the performance of a DF system and to design superresolution sensor arrays.
