| Abstract: |
| In order to solve the problem that the performance of standard Capon beamformer will decline sharply when there are errors between the real and expected steering vectors，a robust beamforming algorithm based on weighted spatial smoothing and steering vector estimation is proposed. The weighted space smoothing method is used to partition the subarrays. According to the weight difference between the autocorrelation matrix and the cross correlation matrix，the weighted matrix is obtained by nesting，and then the more accurate covariance matrix is obtained. Then，the desired steering vector with uncertain range constraints is used to obtain the real steering vector. The simulation results show that the robustness of the proposed algorithm is significantly improved when the covariance matrix contains the desired signal and the angle mismatch problem in comparison with the traditional adaptive beamforming algorithm. |
