Abstract :
This paper presents a method for the determination of array-element locations that makes no assumptions on the distribution of the sensors along the array or the array shape, and in fact, can be applied to the determination of the locations of sets of arbitrarily distributed sensors and arrays containing loops. The method employed uses multiple far-field sources
