On linearly constrained minimum variance beamforming
Beamforming is a widely used technique for source localization in signal processing and neuroimaging. A number of vector-beamformers have been introduced to localize neuronal activity by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) data in the literature. However, the existing theoretical analyses on these beamformers have been limited to simple cases, where no more than two sources are allowed in the as...

متن کاملPrinciples of minimum variance robust adaptive beamforming design
Robustness is typically understood as an ability of adaptive beamforming algorithm to achieve high performance in the situations with imperfect, incomplete, or erroneous knowledge about the source, propagation media, and antenna array. It is also desired to achieve high performance with as little as possible prior information. In the last decade, solve a number of problems in a wide range of ap...
متن کاملMinimum Variance Adaptive Beamforming Applied to a Circular Sonar Array
The minimum variance (MV) beamformer, also known as the Capon or minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer, uses the recorded wavefield to compute a set of optimal weights to be applied to each sensor, before coherently adding the sensor outputs. The weights are chosen such that the variance of the output is minimized while maintaining unit gain in the view direction. The MV be...
متن کاملDouble Minimum Variance Beamforming Method to Enhance Photoacoustic Imaging
One of the common algorithms used to reconstruct photoacoustic (PA) images is the non-adaptive Delayand-Sum (DAS) beamformer. However, the quality of the reconstructed PA images obtained by DAS is not satisfying due to its high level of sidelobes and wide mainlobe. In contrast, adaptive beamformers, such as minimum variance (MV), result in an improved image compared to DAS. In this paper, a nov...
