Sparse Billboard and T-Shaped Arrays for Two-Dimensional Direction of Arrival Estimation by Saleh A. Alawsh, Mohamed H. Mohamed, Ibrahim Aboumahmoud, Mohammad Alhassoun, Ali H. Muqaibel

“…In two-dimensional direction of arrival (2D-DOA) estimation, planar arrays can estimate the elevation and azimuth angles simultaneously. However, many planar array topologies such as billboard, L-shaped, T-shaped, and 2D nested arrays suffer from mutual coupling that results from the small separation between the physical sensors (antennas), which limits the estimation capability of the sensor array. …”
