Broadband MVDR Beamformer Applying PSO
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a broadband MVDR(minimum variance distortionless response) beamforming method based on time-domain (TMVDR) is presented. Using TMVDR beamformer, stable sample matrix estimation could be obtained in short time period. To obtain the stable optimum solution of TMVDR, a numerical searching method optimized by PSO algorithm with constrain condition is introduced. Out-sea experiment show the performance of TMVDR beamformer applying PSO algorithm proposed in this paper.

Improved Antenna Array Adaptive Beam- Forming with Low Side Lobe Level Using a Novel Adaptive Invasive Weed Optimization Method
An improved adaptive beamforming technique of antenna arrays is introduced. The technique is implemented by using a novel Invasive Weed Optimization (IWO) variant called Adaptive Dispersion Invasive Weed Optimization (ADIWO) where the seeds produced by a weed are dispersed in the search space with standard deviation specified by the fitness value of the weed. The adaptive seed dispersion makes ...
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 کاملAn Adaptive Beamformer Based on Adaptive Covariance Estimator
Based on the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response-Sample Matrix Inversion (MVDRSMI) method, we propose a novel Adaptive Covariance Estimator (MVDR-ACE) beamformer for adaptation to multiple interference environments. The MVDR-ACE beamformer iteratively determines a minimum number of data samples required while maintaining its average signal-to-interference-noise to be within 3 dB from the p...
متن کاملA New Post-filter Algorithm Combined with Two-step Adaptive Beamformer
The optimal microphone array, in the sense of minimum mean square errors (MMSE), includes two processing blocks: the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer and the single-channel Wiener filter, which acts as post-filter. In this paper, we propose a new post-filter algorithm based on assumptions that both the noise power attenuation factor (NPAF) and signal power attenuation ...
متن کاملComparative Study of Neural Network Tra- Ining Applied to Adaptive Beamforming of Antenna Arrays
This paper presents a comparative study of neural network (NN) training. The trained NNs are used as adaptive beamformers of antenna arrays. The training is performed either by a recently developed method called Mutated Boolean PSO (MBPSO) or by a well known beamforming method called Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR). The training procedure starts by applying the MBPSO and the MVD...
