AN EIGENVECTOR INTERPRETATION OF AN ARRAY'S BEARING-RESPONSE PATTERN

Abstract

At a single frequency an array's bearing-response pattern is expressed as a weighted sum of terms involving a steering matrix and the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the array's spectral density matrix. This point of view is used to gain an understanding of the beam patterns generated by the Adaptive Search and Track Array (ASTA) processor.
