abstract = {This work investigates a dual-antenna passive synthetic aperture Direction-of-Arrival (DoA) estimation technique for compact airborne sensors under simulated uncertainties in platform navigation and receiver synchronization. An electromagnetic environment incorporating spherical wave propagation and Doppler effects is implemented in an in-house radar simulator. We analyze how practical issues such as velocity variations, misleading sampling rates, and local-oscillator frequency offsets can degrade the accuracy of the proposed DoA estimator, highlighting trade-offs between aperture length, snapshot budget, and tolerance to measurement noise. Our results indicate that the proposed signal model for dual-antenna passive synthetic aperture is capable of dealing with even moderate misleading measurements and still arriving at useful azimuth and elevation estimates.},
