Summary:
The accuracy of direction finding using antenna arrays with different array apertures is studied. Numerical simulations are performed using full-wave moment method. The undesirable mutual coupling effect is properly modelled and compensated using receiving-mutual-impedance and the direction finding is obtained using the Matrix Pencil Method. The results show that increasing the number of elements with a small array aperture can significantly improve the accuracy in direction finding. The findings are crucial for the design of antenna arrays for direction finding.
