This letter considers localization using multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, configured with multiple transmit and receive sensors, widely distributed in a three-dimensional space. The placement of antennas is explored when the receiver hardware has varying noise quality. Cramer–Rao Lower Bounds are optimized to find the antenna placements, where it is shown that a symmetric configuration of transmitting and different quality receiving sensors around an emitter is optimal.
