Perturbation analysis of direction of arrival (DOA) estimation has been studied mostly on one-dimensional arrays rather than planar arrays, which remains room for exploration. For uniform circular arrays with various model errors, we establish the corresponding system model. Then a performance analysis of the two-dimensional MUSIC algorithm is proposed by first-order error analysis and verified by simulation. The results show that the root-mean-squared error of DOA estimation is proportional to the standard deviation of the model errors, including gain-phase errors, sensor position errors, and mutual coupling effect.
