Abstract
This correspondence derives the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for towe d array shape estimation when using the receiver outputs in the presen ce of a single planewave narrowband source and additive white noise. B oth known and unknown source directions are considered. The CRLB shows that accurate array shape estimation is possible only if the array sh ape is relatively linear and the source direction away from endfire.
