Abstract

In this paper, we consider the problem of sensor placement for passive source localization under conditions where there are multiple sources and noise measurement is distance dependent. To this end, first we derive the Cramer-Rao bound for the angle of arrival (AOA) based source localization for distance-dependent noise model and existence of multiple sources. Then, the optimal arrangement of sensors to achieve this bound is obtained.
