Abstract :
The direct simulation of external noise fields containing a large number of discrete noise sources or interference that is continuously distributed in angle requires the generation of a large number of independent random variables per sample of array input. A method of simulating exactly the statistics of an arbitrary Gaussian noise field at the input to an

-element array with only

random variables is described.
