Abstract
Sensor arrays have been in use for several decades in many practical signal processing applications. Such an array consists of a set of sensors that are spatially distributed at known locations with reference to a common reference point. These sensors collect signals from sources in their field of view. Depending on the sensor characteristics and the path of propagation, the source waveforms undergo deterministic and/or random modifications. The sensor outputs are composed of these source components and additive noise such as measurement and thermal noise.
