Abstract

The work presented here derives an approximate lower bound (ALB) for the error variance of direction-finding using a single acoustic vector sensor subject to random breakdown in its sensors. This ALB equals a weighted sum of Cramer-Rao bounds (CRBs), conditioned on disjoint events of sensor breakdown, that together define the overall phenomenon of random sensor breakdown. Its tightness is verified by Monte Carlo simulation of a maximum likelihood estimator.
