A Robust Beamformer Based on Weighted Sparse Constraint
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 beamformer also shows improved robustness against the mismatch between the steering angle and the direction of arrival (DOA) of the desired signal, caused by imperfect estimation of DOA.

Robust Capon Beamforming via Shaping Beam Pattern
High sidelobe level and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation sensitivity are two major disadvantages of the Capon beamforming. To deal with these problems, this paper gives an overview of a series of robust Capon beamforming methods via shaping beam pattern, including sparse Capon beamforming, weighted sparse Capon beamforming, mixed norm based Capon beamforming, total variation minimization b...
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 کاملRobust Adaptive Beamforming Based on Domain Weighted Pca
A novel technique for robust adaptive beamforming (ABF) is proposed. The technique, referred to as Domain−Weighted PCA (DW−PCA), is founded on a basic paradigm shift from one of noise cancellation to one of signal separation. It uses the singular value decomposition (SVD) to perform second order blind signal separation after applying a simple transformation to the data. The transformation is de...
متن کاملSpeech Enhancement Employing Adaptive Beamformer with Recursively Updated Soft Constraints
A novel adaptive beamformer employing recursively updated soft constraints for acoustic speech enhancement is proposed. The beamformer operates in a subband structure to allow a time-frequency operation for each channel. Consequently, the processing performed can be viewed as a combined weighted spatial,frequency and temporal filter. The major benefit of the new recursive soft constrained beamf...
متن کاملRobust adaptive beamforming using data dependent constraints
An adaptive beamformer which is robust to uncertainty in source DOA is derived. The beamformer is a weighted sum of minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformers pointed at a set of candidate DOAs, where the relative contribution of each MVDR beamformer is determined from a combination of observed data and prior knowledge about the DOA. When SNR is high, the MVDR beamformer whose ...
