Uniform rectilinear array is commonly used to explain the correspondence relationship between spatial sampling and time sampling, while the characteristics of the spatial sampling is much unfamiliar than rectilinear array for the widely used circular array. In this paper, we pointed out that the circular array sampling sequence has the characteristics of the nonlinear frequency modulation (FM) and analyzed the optimal number of circular array combined with the multi-rate signal processing theory by the analysis on the characteristics of the circular array sampling.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
