  The estimation of direction of arrivals with help of $TV$-minimization is
studied. Contrary to prior work in this direction, which has only considered
certain antenna placement designs, we consider general antenna geometries.
Applying the soft-recovery framework, we are able to derive a theoretic
guarantee for a certain direction of arrival to be approximately recovered. We
discuss the impact of the recovery guarantee for a few concrete antenna
designs. Additionally, numerical simulations supporting the findings of the
theoretical part are performed.
