Extended derivations of MUSIC in the presence of steering vector errors

We present two extensions of MUSIC to the case in which the steering vector is imprecisely known and show that the extended methods lead to the same direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimates as MUSIC. This somewhat surprising result provides a more general motivation of MUSIC than those currently available and shows that MUSIC possesses a certain degree of inherent robustness to steering vector errors.
