Research on the algorithms of accurate bearing estimation based on modified hyper-beam technique

Accurate bearing estimation is critical in array processing techniques. Since the conventional hyper beam technique, due to the nonlinearity, cannot be combined straightforwardly with linear post-processing algorithms, this article improves the technique and proposes a new approach which successfully steers clear of the non-linear drawbacks. Simulations demonstrate that this new approach can effectively reduce the width of the main lobe of the beam pattern and reduce the amplitude of the side lobe, and thus enhance the accuracy of the bearing estimation.
