CROSS-SPECTRUM VERSUS SPECTRUM FOR NOISE DIRECTIONALITY MEASUREMENT.

Abstract

The report presents a derivation showing that, given two crossed linear arrays, the cross-spectrum of the array outputs is a better estimator of the noise field directionality than is the spectrum of the sum of the array outputs. When the two arrays each have a 10-degree beamwidth and sidelobe level of 0.05, the cross-spectrum is a tolerable estimate of the noise power from some particular direction, if the power from that direction exceeds the general background level by about 7 dB.
