“…By using the interpolated virtual antenna array [1,2] proposed by Friedlander we can increase the array freedom, process the interferers whose number is more than the number of real array elements, and we can also realize the transformation between different array geometries, apply many excellent algorithms specially aiming at the array with Vandermonde manifold on the real irregular array, such as MUSIC algorithm [3], spatial smoothing algorithm [4], etc. However, there exists angle sensitivity problem in the interpolated virtual antenna [5]: when the direction of arriving signal is beyond the transformation areas, the transformation error will increase rapidly, the virtual transformation performance will decrease obviously; besides, if transformation area is over large, even within the transformation area the performance can not be guaranteed, it will get much worse out of the area.…”
