一种改进的自适应波束形成技术研究

在阵列信号处理过程中，有限次快拍采样会使得到的自适应波束出现畸变的问题，此时，采用幅度加权来抑制副瓣的效果也不太理想。文中将分析一种基于协方差矩阵非线性变换的自适应波束形成技术，对接收数据协方差矩阵进行非线性变换，然后采用Capon法形成自适应波束。通过仿真，表明该方法具有良好的波束保形能力，信干噪比损失较小，波束经幅度加权后，副瓣高度可降低约10dB。

Research of A Improved Adaptive Beamforming Method

In array signal processing,the performance of adaptive beam pattern degrades under finite snapshot condition.Amplitude weighting to suppress the side lobe is also not really perfect.The adaptive beamforming method based on nonlinear functions of the covariance matrix is analysed, transform the covariance matrix of the received data by nonlinear transformation,then form the adaptive beam with capon algorithm. The simulating results show a good beam pattern with slight loses, and amplitude weighting will get the lower sidelobe, about 10 dB.
