Abstract
Given an n-element linear array with the fixed positions x/sub 1/ and x/sub n/ of the leftmost and rightmost array sensors, it is shown that the stochastic Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) and MUSIC performance depend on positions of the remaining n-2 sensors within the interval [x/sub 1/, x/sub n/]. The asymptotic performance of the interpolated array approach shows similar dependence. The most favorable geometries are unrealizable for q\n\n\t\t
