Robust passive beamformer using bridge function sequences as weights
This letter introduces a novel passive beamformer which uses Bridge function sequence as spreading sequence weights for every antenna element. The set of Bridge function sequences have zero correlation zones (ZCZs) in their cross-correlation functions (CCFs). Due to the ZCZ properties of Bridge function sequences, the introduced passive beamformer features a much better performance on avoiding ...
متن کاملA Novel Robust Adaptive Beamformer using Diagonal Loading
Adaptive beamfomer which utilizes MVDR beamformer along with SMI (sample matrix inversion), actual data is not available to calculate the covariance matrix. Instead, covariance matrix is estimated from the available data. It may result in bad conditioning. To avoid this, diagonal elements are introduced in the correlation matrix, which is called diagonal loading. Diagonal loading can be inserte...
متن کاملFrequency Smoothed Robust Capon Beamformer Applied to Medical Ultrasound Imaging
Recently, adaptive array beamforming has been applied to medical ultrasound imaging and achieved promising performance improvement. However, the current robust Capon beamformer with spatial smoothing (RCB-SS) is implemented in the time domain, which does not fully utilise the large bandwidth of ultrasound signals and spatial smoothing reduces the effective aperture. In this dissertation, we pro...
متن کاملRobust Adaptive LCMV Beamformer Based on an Iterative Suboptimal Solution
The main drawback of closed-form solution of linearly constrained minimum variance (CF-LCMV) beamformer is the dilemma of acquiring long observation time for stable covariance matrix estimates and short observation time to track dynamic behavior of targets, leading to poor performance including low signal-noise-ratio (SNR), low jammer-to-noise ratios (JNRs) and small number of snapshots. Additi...
متن کاملSidelobe Suppression for Robust Beamformer Via the Mixed Norm Constraint
Applying a sparse constraint on the beam pattern has been suggested to suppress the sidelobe of the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamformer recently. To further improve the performance, we add a mixed norm constraint on the beam pattern. It matches the beam pattern better and encourages dense distribution in mainlobe and sparse distribution in sidelobe. The obtained beamforme...
