Beamformer Based on Quaternion Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this chapter, the problem of quaternion beamformer based on linear and widely linear hypercomplex processing is investigated in scenarios, where there exist one signal and one interference that are uncorrelated. First, we introduce brief information about the quaternion algebra and a quaternion model of linear symmetric array with twocomponent electromagnetic (EM) vector-sensors is presented. Based on array’s quaternion model, a quaternion MVDR (QMVDR) beamformer is derived and its performance is analysed. Second, we propose the general expression of a quaternion semi-widely linear (QSWL) beamformer and derive its useful implementation and the array’s gain expression. Finally, we give the main results of Monte Carlo simulation.

A Fully Quaternion-Valued Capon Beamformer Based on Crossed-Dipole Arrays
Quaternion models have been developed for both direction of arrival estimation and beamforming based on crossed-dipole arrays in the past. However, for almost all the models, especially for adaptive beamforming, the desired signal is still complex-valued and one example is the quaternion-Capon beamformer. However, since the complex-valued desired signal only has two components, while there are ...
متن کاملFully Quaternion-Valued Adaptive Beamforming Based on Crossed-Dipole Arrays
Based on crossed-dipole antenna arrays, quaternion-valued data models have been developed for both direction of arrival estimation and beamforming in the past. However, for almost all the models, and especially for adaptive beamforming, the desired signal is still complex-valued as in the quaternion-valued Capon beamformer. Since the complex-valued desired signal only has two components, while ...
متن کاملThe Generalized Sidelobe Canceller Based on Quaternion Widely Linear Processing
We investigate the problem of quaternion beamforming based on widely linear processing. First, a quaternion model of linear symmetric array with two-component electromagnetic (EM) vector sensors is presented. Based on array's quaternion model, we propose the general expression of a quaternion semiwidely linear (QSWL) beamformer. Unlike the complex widely linear beamformer, the QSWL beamformer i...
متن کاملQuaternion-valued robust adaptive beamformer for electromagnetic vector-sensor arrays with worst-case constraint
A robust adaptive beamforming scheme based on two-component electromagnetic (EM) vector-sensor arrays is proposed by extending the well-known worst-case constraint into the quaternion domain. After defining the uncertainty set of the desired signal’s quaternionic steering vector, two quaternionvalued constrained minimization problems are derived. We then reformulate them into two real-valued co...
متن کاملA brief introduction to quaternion matrices and linear algebra and on bounded groups of quaternion matrices
The division algebra of real quaternions, as the only noncommutative normed division real algebra up to isomorphism of normed algebras, is of great importance. In this note, first we present a brief introduction to quaternion matrices and quaternion linear algebra. This, among other things, will help us present the counterpart of a theorem of Herman Auerbach in the setting of quaternions. More ...
