Study of Beamforming Methods with Steering Vector Errors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Robust Adaptive Beam forming algorithms face many insidious issues such as array steering vector errors which can significantly alter the array gain expected through beam forming. Other issues include coherent signal and interferers, problems like small sample size broadband interferences and so on. Therefore, there is a need to explore and investigate such beam forming methods that solve such RAB issues and are robust to error sources. Furthermore, A performance comparison of sub RAB algorithms should be scrutinized by selecting appropriate performance metrics.

Robust Adaptive Beamforming with SSMUSIC Performance Optimization in the Presence of Steering Vector Errors
A novel subspace projection approach was proposed to improve the robustness of adaptive beamforming and direction finding algorithms. The cost function of the signal subspace scaled multiple signal classification (SSMUSIC) is minimized in the uncertainty set of the signal steering vector, the optimal solution to the optimization problem is that the assumed steering vector can be modified as the...
متن کاملRobust Adaptive Beamforming Based on Steering Vector Estimation via Semidefinite Programming Relaxation
We develop a new approach to robust adaptive beamforming in the presence of signal steering vector errors. Since the signal steering vector is known imprecisely, its presumed (prior) value is used to find a more accurate estimate of the actual steering vector, which then is used for obtaining the optimal beamforming weight vector. The objective for finding such an estimate of the actual signal ...
متن کاملEstimation of steering vector errors for adaptive beamforming
Steering vector errors can severely degrade the performance of adaptive beamforming. For the case of a platformmounted array, unknown scattering from the platform can be a major source of bearing and frequency dependent errors. These errors can be estimated using a technique based on maximizing the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) in the spatial spectrum computed using the minimum...
متن کاملRobust adaptive beamforming using a Bayesian steering vector error model
We propose a Bayesian approach to robust adaptive beamforming which entails considering the steering vector of interest as a random variable with some prior distribution. The latter can be tuned in a simple way to reflect how far is the actual steering vector from its presumed value. Two different priors are proposed, namely a Bingham prior distribution and a distribution that directly reveals ...
متن کاملRobust adaptive beamforming via LMS-like target tracking
This paper presents an algorithm implementing robustness in beamforming, by directly reducing localization errors in the presence of pointing errors or a single moving target. Given an initial position, the desired source signal is first estimated using a classical beamforming unit. It is in a second step, processed by an “LMS-like” gradient stochastic estimation procedure of the steering vecto...
