Robust Adaptive Beamforming Applied to Planar Array

Article Preview

Abstract:

Capon beamforming has better resolution and interference rejection capability. However, its performance will seriously degrade due to noise, array steering vector error, and other factors. In this paper, a robust Capon beamforming applied to a planar array is described. It is shown that the proposed method is the natural extension of the original Vector Optimization Robust Beamforming algorithm to the case of a planar array, and can be reformulated as a convex second-order cone program and solved by SEDUMI. Computer simulation has shown that the proposed method has better performance than other conventional methods, such as narrower main lobe and lower side lobe.
