UIA-MVDR belongs to the classic approaches of spectral averaging. However, it is distinguished from the conventional interpolated array MVDR （IA-MVDR） by two points： 1） It imposes a unitary constraint on the transform matrices. 2） It only optimizes the worst-case performance of array manifold approximation. As a result, the restriction on the order of Bessel function expansion is released, so that very accurate approximation can be achieved even in the case of small or middle arrays. Compared with many related approaches, UIA-MVDR destroys the correlation more completely and then achieves better performance. Its excellent performance in both correlated and uncorrelated broadband interferences suppression is confirmed via a n umber of numerical examples.展开更多

By emplying wavelet packet theory to adaptive beamforming, a wavelet packet transform-based adaptive beamforming algorithm (WP-ABF) is proposed . This WP-ABF algorithm uses wavelet packet transform as the preprocessing, and the wavelet packet transformed signal uses least mean square algorithm to implement the ~adaptive beamforming. White noise can be wiped off under wavelet packet transform according to the different characteristics of signal and white under the wavelet packet transform. Theoretical analysis and simulations demonstrate that the proposed WP-ABF algorithm converges faster than the conventional adaptive beamforming algorithm and the wavelet transform-based beamforming algorithm. Simulation results also reveal that the convergence of the algorithm relates closely to the wavelet base and series; that is, the algorithm convergence gets better with the increasing of series, and for the same series of wavelet base the convergence gets better with the increasing of regularity.展开更多

To tackle the problem,the spatial smoothing technique is adopted in quaternion domain to decorrelate the interferences by using linearly and uniformly spaced two-component electromagnetic vector-sensors. By averaging several translational invariant subarray quaternion covariance matrices,the quaternion spatial smoothing is performed to prevent the SOI cancellation phenomena caused by the presence of coherent interferences. It is demonstrated that the quaternion spatial smoothing Q-Capon beamformer can suppress the coherent interferences remarkably while the computational cost is lower than the complex domain long vector spatial smoothing counterpart. Theoretical analyses and simulation results validate the efficacy of the spatially smoothed Q-Capon beamformer in terms of coherent interference suppression capability.展开更多
