RT info:eu-repo/semantics/article T1 Optimisation of sensor positions in random linear arrays based on statistical relations between geometry and performance A1 Val Puente, Lara del A1 Jiménez, María A1 Izquierdo Fuente, Alberto A1 Villacorta Calvo, Juan José K1 Array designAcoustic arraySidelobe level performance AB Due to the widespread use of acoustic arrays, optimisation techniques for array design, focused on improving array performance, have been widely published. This paper exploits the statistical relation between different measures of sidelobe levels and the spacing of elements in random linear arrays made up of a small number of sensors. This paper defines the methodology to obtain maximum probability functions, associating array geometry and performance. These maximum probability functions allow a pre-selection of those array geometries that are more likely to be associated to specified sidelobe level values. This pre-selection results in a significantly reduced computational burden.
