Robust Adaptive Beamforming based on Automatic Variable Loading in Array Antenna
Keywords:
Array antenna, loading, robust adaptive beamformingAbstract
Diagonal loading technology is widely used in array antenna beamforming because of its simple method, low computational complexity and the ability to improve the robustness of beamformer. On this basis, this paper proposes a robust adaptive beamforming method based on automatic variable loading technology. The automatic variable loading matrix (AVLM) of the method is composed of two parts. The non-uniform loading matrix dominants when the input signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is small, effectively control the influence of noise disturbance without affecting the ability of array antenna to suppress interference. The variable diagonal loading matrix dominants when the input SNR is high to improve the output performance of array antenna. Simulated results show that compared to other methods, the proposed method has better output performance for both low and high input SNR cases.
