A source tracking sensor array testbed

The University of Wyoming Source Tracking Array Testbed (UW STAT) was devel oped as a platform to experimentally investigate recent advances in sensor array source tracking algorithms. UW STAT is a six sensor array with one or more sources which may be moving. This system is unique in its compactness and its emphasis on the source tracking problem with the ability to precis ely know the true source location for comparison with array tracking algori thm results. Experimental tracking results are presented to demonstrate the performance of the system. Experimental data, along with information about UW STAT, is available on the World Wide Web (http://wwweng.uwyo.edu/electr ical/array.html) for other researchers to test their tracking algorithms.
