Antenna array configurations play an important role in direction of arrival (DOA) estimation. In this letter, performance enhancement of DOA estimation is achieved by reconfiguring the multi-antenna receiver through an antenna selection strategy. We derive the Cramer-Rao Bound (CRB) in terms of the selected antennas and associated subarray for both peak sidelobe level (PSL) constrained isotropic and directional arrays in single source cases. Since directional arrays are angle dependent, a Dinklebach type algorithm and convex relaxation are introduced to maintain the optimum selection by adaptively reconfiguring the directional subarrays using semi-definite programming. Simulation results validate the effectiveness of the proposed antenna selection strategy.
