Abstract
It is impossible to enforce exact responses for each sensor involved in an antenna array. Important signal processing techniques such as Estimation of Signal Parameters via Rotational Invariance (ESPRIT), Forward Backward Average (FBA) and Spatial Smoothing (SPS) rely on sensor arrays with Vandermonde or centro-hermitian responses. To achieve such responses array interpolation is often necessary. In this work a novel way of performing array interpolation while minimizing the transformation error using the Unscented Transformation (UT) is presented. The UT provides a different method for mapping interpolated regions and also exhibits a new insight into array interpolation and its current limitations. A set of numerical simulations presents promising results for array interpolation employing the UT.
