Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance Beamforming with Quadratic Pattern Constraints for Spatially Spread Sources
Antenna arrays that receive emissions from spatially spread sources require beamformers with wider beamwidths than point source beamformers. The framework of linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming with quadratic pattern constraints (LCMV-QPC) is used to develop beamformers with a specified main beamwidth and sidelobe levels. The problem is formulated by imposing a set of inequality c...
متن کاملOn linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming
Beamforming is a widely used technique for source localization in signal processing and neuroimaging. A number of vector-beamformers have been introduced to localize neuronal activity by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in the literature. However, the existing theoretical analyses on these beamformers have been limited to simple cases, where no more than two sources are allowed in the as...
متن کاملMinimum Variance Distortionless Response Beamforming for Tumor Segmentation in MRI 49 Minimum Variance Distortionless Response Beamforming for Tumor Segmentation in MRI
Image classification it generally requires a priori knowledge about the objects to be classified. In this paper, we present a new method to segment tumor in multispectral magnetic resonance (MR) images of the human brain. The proposed approach, called Minimum Variance Distortionless Response beamforming (MVDR) was introduced in [15] where only the knowledge of the desired signature to be classi...
متن کاملPrinciples of minimum variance robust adaptive beamforming design
Robustness is typically understood as an ability of adaptive beamforming algorithm to achieve high performance in the situations with imperfect, incomplete, or erroneous knowledge about the source, propagation media, and antenna array. It is also desired to achieve high performance with as little as possible prior information. In the last decade, solve a number of problems in a wide range of ap...
متن کاملMinimum Variance Adaptive Beamforming Applied to a Circular Sonar Array
The minimum variance (MV) beamformer, also known as the Capon or minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, uses the recorded wavefield to compute a set of optimal weights to be applied to each sensor, before coherently adding the sensor outputs. The weights are chosen such that the variance of the output is minimized while maintaining unit gain in the view direction. The MV be...
