A comparison of initialization schemes for blind adaptive beamforming
نویسنده
چکیده
Many blind adaptive beamforming algorithms require the selection of one or more non-zero initial weight vectors. Proper selection of the initial weight vectors can speed algorithm convergence and help ensure convergence to the desired solutions. Three alternative initialization approaches are compared here, all of which depend only on second order statistics of the observed data. These methods are based on Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization, eigendecomposition, and QR decomposition of the observed data covariance matrix. We show through computer simulation that the eigendecomposition approach yields the best performance.

Adaptive beamforming in row-column addressed arrays for 3D ultrasound imaging
In recent years, to reduce the complexity of implementation, the use of 2D arrays with restricted row-column addressing has been considered for 3D ultrasound imaging. In this paper, two methods of adaptive beamforming based on the minimum variance method are represented in such a way that the computational load is much less than using the full adaptive beamforming method. In both proposed metho...

Successful speech enhancement by convolutive blind source separation (BSS) techniques requires careful design of all aspects of the chosen separation method. The conventional strategy for system initialization in both timeand frequency-domain BSS involves a diagonal center-spike FIR filter matrix and no data preprocessing; however, this strategy may not be the best for any chosen separation alg...

The constant modulus algorithm (CMA) is an e ective technique for blind receiver design in practice. Treating CMA as a linear estimation problem, e ects of noise and channel conditions are investigated. For the class of channels with arbitary nite impulse responses, an analytical description of locations of constant modulus receivers and an upper bound of their mean squared errors (MSE) are der...
