Abstract
Practical problems arising in radar, sonar and seismology have stimulated extensive research in the area of array processing during the past two decades. This paper is not a review in the sense that it attempts to give a balanced presentation of the various elegant and highly mathematical analyses which have contributed to an understanding of arrays. It is the author’s feeling that array processing as a field has now matured to the point where a number of fairly simple intuitive notions can be abstracted from the more formal studies. We will be concerned with these intuitive notions, with questions like: What have we learned and why are these conclusions plausible? For formal proofs the interested reader will be referred to the, by now, very extensive literature.
