Review text

The paper deals with the problem of finding the directions of narrow-band stationary zero mean signals in presence of array sensor location errors. The signals have the straight-line wavefronts lying in the same plane as the sensors do. First the paper gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the rank-2 ambiguity and a conjecture for a characterization of rank-\(n\) ambiguity. Then a characterization of phase delay ambiguity is given in the case when all the steering vectors of some signals are available. Finally, the minimal number of known and unknown signals required for localizing the sources and sensors is determined in the absence of ambiguities and under the assumption of no measurements noises.
