文摘The statistical performance of AR high resolution array processor in presence of correlated sensor signal fluctuation is studied. Mean square inverse beam pattern and pointing error are examined. Special attention is paid to the effects of reference sensor and correlation between sensors. It is shown that fluctuation causes broadening or even distortion of the mean square inverse beam pattern. Phase fluctuation causes pointing error. Its standard variance is proportional to that of fluctuation and is related to the number of sensors of the array. Correlation between sensors has important effects on pointing error.
