Minimum Variance Distortionless Response Beamformer with Enhanced Nulling Level Control via Dynamic Mutated Artificial Immune System
نویسندگان
چکیده
In smart antenna applications, the adaptive beamforming technique is used to cancel interfering signals (placing nulls) and produce or steer a strong beam toward the target signal according to the calculated weight vectors. Minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming is capable of determining the weight vectors for beam steering; however, its nulling level on the interference sources remains unsatisfactory. Beamforming can be considered as an optimization problem, such that optimal weight vector should be obtained through computation. Hence, in this paper, a new dynamic mutated artificial immune system (DM-AIS) is proposed to enhance MVDR beamforming for controlling the null steering of interference and increase the signal to interference noise ratio (SINR) for wanted signals.

Robust Mvdr Beamformer for Nulling Level Control via Multi-parametric Quadratic Programming
MVDR beamformer is one of the well-known adaptive beamforming techniques that offers the ability to resolve signals that are separated by a fraction of an antenna beamwidth. In an ideal scenario, the MVDR beamformer can not only minimize the array output power but also maintain a distortionless mainlobe response toward the desired signal. Unfortunately, the MVDR beamformer may have unacceptably...
متن کاملSidelobe Suppression for Robust Beamformer Via the Mixed Norm Constraint
Applying a sparse constraint on the beam pattern has been suggested to suppress the sidelobe of the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer recently. To further improve the performance, we add a mixed norm constraint on the beam pattern. It matches the beam pattern better and encourages dense distribution in mainlobe and sparse distribution in sidelobe. The obtained beamforme...
متن کاملA Robust Beamformer Based on Weighted Sparse Constraint
Applying a sparse constraint on the beam pattern has been suggested to suppress the sidelobe level of a minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer. In this letter, we introduce a weighted sparse constraint in the beamformer design to provide a lower sidelobe level and deeper nulls for interference avoidance, as compared with a conventional MVDR beamformer. The proposed beamforme...
متن کاملA Nonlinear Adaptive Beamforming Algorithm Based on Least Squares Support Vector Regression
To overcome the performance degradation in the presence of steering vector mismatches, strict restrictions on the number of available snapshots, and numerous interferences, a novel beamforming approach based on nonlinear least-square support vector regression machine (LS-SVR) is derived in this paper. In this approach, the conventional linearly constrained minimum variance cost function used by...
متن کاملAdaptive Blocking Beamformer for Speech Separation
This paper tackles the speech separation problem in a meeting room using a new acoustic beamforming method – adaptive blocking (AB) beamformer. The proposed method is an optimum beamforming with a structure similar to the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) structure, but simpler. Thus, it inherits the flexibility of GSC and functions well in dynamic environments. We investigate the performanc...
