چکیده

High sidelobe level is a major disadvantage of the Capon beamforming. To suppress the sidelobe, this paper introduces a mainlobe to sidelobe power ratio constraint to the Capon beamforming. it minimizes the sidelobe power while keeping the mainlobe power constant. Simulations show that the obtained beamformer outperforms the Capon beamformer. Index Terms array signal proccessing, Capon beamforming; sidelobe suppression

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...

Sidelobe 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...

Robust beamformer weight design for broadband matched-field processsing

Matchedeld beamforming has been proposed for localizing wideband acoustic sources in uncertain underwater channels. While adaptive matchedeld beamforming provides adequate sidelobe suppression for stronger sources, at low signal-to-noise ratios it converges to its quiescent response, in this case the Bartlett beamformer, which has unacceptably high sidelobe levels. In this paper, a design metho...

A Pareto Elite Selection Genetic Algorithm for Random Antenna Array Beamforming with Low Sidelobe Level

Random antenna array (RAA) that uses the conventional beamforming method produces a poor beam pattern with high sidelobe level. This greatly reduces the performance and the efficiency of the antenna. The use of Genetic Algorithm (GA) to find the best positions for the antenna elements in RAA to lower the sidelobes has been widely researched. However, there has been no solution proposed for the ...

Multiplicative Mismatched Filters for Optimum Range Sidelobe Suppression in Barker Code Reception

Very efficient sidelobe suppression of Barker codes of length 13 is achieved through the use of a novel mismatched filter. The mismatched filter is comprised of a conventional matched filter cascaded with a computationally efficient filter based on multiplicative expansion. Several constant parameters are introduced in the terms of the expansion and they are optimized to improve the performance...
