access icon free Interference covariance matrix reconstruction via steering vectors estimation for robust adaptive beamforming

© The Institution of Engineering and Technology
Received 21/06/2013, Published

In the presence of steering vector model mismatches, a novel robust adaptive beamformer is proposed based on interference-plus-noise covariance matrix reconstruction. An interference region is first selected according to the coarsely estimated desired signal direction, and then the interference steering vectors are estimated with the robust Capon beamformer. Finally, the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix is reconstructed by integrating the Capon spatial spectrum over the interference region by using the estimated steering vectors.
