This array steering vector be all array elements of antenna to thering is the response of unit energy arrowband information source, array steering vector is relevant with the geometry of the array of antenna.For example, for even linear array, M array element is equidistantly arranged in straight line, and array element distance is d.Suppose that a travelling carriage is positioned at far field, the wavefront that its signal arrives each array element is plane wave.Arrive wave line of propagation angle θ (with the angle theta of array normal) and be called direction of arrival, θ is the deflection angle between target level azimuth and reference azimuth in embodiments of the present invention, in the time that reference azimuth is 0 degree azimuth, θ is target level azimuth.The array steering vector of this even linear array is:
