Abstract
In the paper an effective method for optimal placement of directional antenna elements for digital spatial signal estimation is discussed. The digital antenna array evaluates spatial coordinates with the subsequent beamforming. However, as it is well known, the relative position of antenna elements, their number and the shape of the radiation pattern have a significant impact on the quality of the spatial pseudospectrum. The paper uses the previously obtained expression for estimating the Cramer-Rao lower bound to reduce the number of antenna elements without losing the accuracy of direction-of-arrival estimation of the signals. For example, a two-element array is obtained. The elements have a flat-top radiation pattern. It is shown that the accuracy of the MUSIC method in the obtained array is higher or comparable to the array composed of three elements.
