Beam pattern analysis based on sensor distribution in uncertain environment

Abstract

This paper addresses the beam pattern analysis in uncertain environment. Assuming that beamforming is achieved along one given receiver direction, the beam pattern is controlled via the sensor distribution to make different goals. Given two different applications, we show that the sensor nodes are located in a straight line perpendicular to the receiver direction, different distance between the sensors contributes towards separate purposes, respectively. Simulation results are provided to validate the effectiveness of our approach.
