Since the Cramér-Rao lower bounds (CRLB) of target localization depends on the sensor geometry explicitly, sensor placement becomes a crucial issue in many target or source localization applications. In the context of simultaneous time-of-arrival (TOA) based multi-target localization, we consider th...
