基于指向最小误差的宽带稳健波束形成方法

    A Wideband Robust Beamforming Method Based on STMV

    • 摘要: 宽带自适应波束形成方法较常规延时求和波束形成方法具备更好的空间分辨能力和干扰抑制能力,但在实际应用中由于阵列误差和指向误差影响导致性能下降。文中在宽带指向最小误差(STMV)方法和窄带稳健Capon(RCB)方法基础上,提出了一种基于椭圆不确定集的宽带稳健波束形成方法。通过仿真验证分析了算法在强副瓣干扰和指向误差条件下弱目标检测能力;在幅频响应误差影响条件下的保持弱信号功率输出能力;并验证算法对快拍数要求低于STMV 方法。

       

      Abstract: Wideband adaptive beamformer (WABF) has better spatial resolution and much better interference rejection capability than conventional delay-and-sum (DAS) beamformer, but the performance of WABF decreases severely in real condition due to the array amplitude-phase response error and the array steering vector ( ASV) error. In this paper, a wideband robust beamforming method based on steered minimum variance (STMV) method is proposed. The ellipsoidal ASV uncertainty sets in narrowband robust Capon beamforming (RCB) are extended to WRB method. Simulation results show that WRB could realize the weak signal of interest (SOI) detection in strong sidelobe jamming and ASV error environment; maintain the SOI output in amplitude-frequency error condition. Besides, the requirement of snapshots is lower than STMV method.
