A Side Lobe Canceller (SLC) structure is a conventional partially adaptive technique which is used in large adaptive array radars. If a desired signal has long time duration in comparison with the SLC adaptation time, signal components may be cancelled. So, this paper presents a modified SLC which eliminates desired signal cancellation problems and allows using an unconstrained adaptive algorit...

Nowadays, hands-free technology has been rapidly increasing in communication systems. It allows a natural form of communication, as if the communication partner was right next to you, the major problem in these systems is the addition of background noise. In this paper implemented beamforming methods for noise reduction in hands-free communication. A beamformer is an array of microphones, which...

antenna structures with low side lobe levels are normally the main goal during antenna design. in this paper, a new method for reduction of radiation pattern side lobe level in phased array antenna with uniform and non-uniform weighting is presented. in this method, by changing the array elements weight or adding several elements, such as slc technique, the pattern with low side lobe level can ...

High frequency surface wave radar (HFSWR) has been successfully developed for early warning and remote sensing. However, the ionospheric clutter is a difficult challenge that can make HFSWR system inefficient. The Generalized Side-lobe Canceller (GSC) has been proved to be an effective algorithm for clutter suppression in theory, but it suffers from the performance degradation for some non-idea...

A common problem encountered in phased array signal processing is how to remove sources of interference from a desired signal. Two existing methods to accomplish this are the Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance (LCMV) beamformer and the Side-Lobe Canceller (SLC). LCMV provides better performance than SLC, but comes with much higher computational costs. The Steered Auxiliary Beam Canceller (SA...

In this paper, we develop a novel reduced-rank space-time adaptive processing (STAP) algorithm based on adaptive basis function approximation (ABFA) for airborne radar applications. The proposed algorithm employs the well-known framework of the side-lobe canceller (SLC) structure and consists of selected sets of basis functions that perform dimensionality reduction and an adaptive reduced-rank ...

In this work, the method of iterative Fourier transform phase reconstruction, conventionally used in holography and optical image reconstruction, is applied to phase only synthesis of antenna patterns. The method is applied to two types of pattern synthesis problems: "main lobe beam shaping" and "side-lobe-level reduction". The proposed method is most useful in the efficient employment of attai...
