Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance Beamforming with Quadratic Pattern Constraints for Spatially Spread Sources
نویسنده
چکیده
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 constraints on the mean-square error between the achievable beampattern and an ideal beampattern over a set of angular regions. The technique is used to synthesize quiescent beamformers with the desired beam.. pattern characteristics for circular and cylindrical arrays.

In this paper, an improved robust minimum variance beamformer against direction of arrival (DOA) mismatch and finite sample effect is proposed. Multiple inequality magnitude constraints are imposed to broaden the main lobe of beampattern. The conjugate symmetric structure of the optimal weight is utilized to transform the non-convex inequality magnitude constraints into convex ones. A quadratic...

A reliable speech enhancement method is important for speech applications as a pre-processing step to improve their overall performance. In this paper, we propose a novel frequency domain method for single channel speech enhancement. Conventional frequency domain methods usually neglect the correlation between neighboring time-frequency components of the signals. In the proposed method, we take...
متن کاملTumor localization using diffuse optical tomography and linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming.
We present a tumor localization method for diffuse optical tomography using linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) beamforming. Beamforming is a spatial filtering technique where signals from certain directions can be enhanced while noise and interference from other directions are suppressed. In our method, we tessellate the domain into small voxels and regard each voxel as a possible pos...
