  text: This contribution presents a Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimation algorithm
    based on the complex Watson distribution to incorporate both phase and level differences
    of captured micro- phone array signals. The derived algorithm is reviewed in the
    context of the Generalized State Coherence Transform (GSCT) on the one hand and
    a kernel density estimation method on the other hand. A thorough simulative evaluation
    yields insight into parameter selection and provides details on the performance
    for both directional and omni-directional microphones. A comparison to the well
    known Steered Response Power with Phase Transform (SRP-PHAT) algorithm and a state
    of the art DoA estimator which explicitly accounts for aliasing, shows in particular
    the advantages of presented algorithm if inter-sensor level differences are indicative
    of the DoA, as with directional microphones.
