16-Element Uniform Linear Array with Half-Wavelength Element Spacing

A 16-element uniform linear array with half-wavelength spacing employs uniformly weighted conventional beamforming. Five uncorrelated far-field target sources transmit signals from azimuth angles -40°, -42°, -5°, 30°, and 33° relative to the array, each with equal 10dB signal-to-noise ratio at reception. Comparative analysis is performed between beamspace and element-space MUSIC algorithms for direction of arrival estimation.
