Performance Analysis of Conventional Beamforming Algorithm for Angle-of-Arrival Estimation under Measurement Uncertainty

Table 1

Mathematical foundation and advantage of the proposed scheme.

Mathematical foundation of the proposed schemeStatistical distribution of various kinds of perturbations
Higher order Taylor series expansion

Empirical performance analysisRepetitive execution based on different
realization of perturbation of each parameter
New Monte Carlo simulation for each statistical
distribtion of perturbation

Proposed analytical performance analysisBased on the statistics of perturbation
rather than realizations of perturbation
Easy to accommodate various distributions of perturbations
via known statistics of the distributions
