Efficient generalized sidelobe canceller for partially adaptive beamforming

초록

This paper presents a computationally efficient subspace-based method for partially adaptive beamforming which is based on the structure of the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC). Its auxiliary beamformer operates in an estimated interference subspace which is obtained through simple computation. The computational burden of the proposed method in terms of complex multiplication is just on O(eta(2)M) where eta and M are the numbers of interferences and the array elements, respectively. Though the subspace obtained is different from the exact interference subspace due to the presence of noise, theoretical analysis shows that the proposed beamformer virtually attains the optimal performance for strong or sidelobe interference. Simulation results validate its effectiveness including fast convergence, even in the presence of errors in the detected number of directional signals.
