Fuzzy Inference Robust Beamforming

چکیده
This paper presents a new approach to robust beamforming based on fuzzy logic theory that is suitable for both point and scattered sources. The presented technique is based on the optimum beamformer and makes it robust to an imperfect estimate of the direction of arrival (DOA) even when powerful interferences are within the uncertainty range of the desired source. This robust approach solves the deficiencies of the classical non-robust space reference beamformers (SRB) in which the real DOA and the presumed one are taken as equal, although they are not. At low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) the fuzzy inference-based beamformer relies on the fuzzy description of the DOA estimation, and at high SNR it places more emphasis on the estimated DOA. Interference rejection is well achieved for Interference to noise ratios (INRs) over the SNR. When the number of antennas is large, the fuzzy inference based beamformer can be implemented by means of a general side lobe canceller (GSLC) architecture and stability improves while the beamformer is still capable of suppressing weak interferences. The proposed schemes are compared with existing techniques, showing that the fuzzy inference beamformer can be an alternative when considering scenarios with e front matter r 2005 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملAlleviating the Small-Signal Oscillations of the SMIB Power System with the TLBO–FPSS and SSSC Robust Controller
Power systems are subjected to small–signal oscillations that can be caused by sudden change in the value of large loads. To avoid the dangers of these oscillations, the Power System Stabilizers (PSSs) are used. When the PSSs can not be effective enough, installation of the Thyristor–based compensators to increase the oscillations damping is a suitable method. In this paper, a Static Synchronou...
