Constant beam-width Beamforming Method based on FIR filter
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of constant beam-width Beamforming Method based on FIR filter.
Background technique
The more horn of plenty compared with narrow band signal of information content entrained by communication system middle width strip signal carries out broadband signal Processing is more advantageous to realization to the detection of target, parameter Estimation and extraction etc..Due to containing heterogeneity frequency in broadband signal Component will lead to array output signal distortion according to traditional narrow beam-forming technology, and signal bandwidth is wider, and distortion is got over Seriously.Therefore constant beam-width beam-forming technology is applied in broadband array signal processing, receive signal without distortions as far as possible, Have become the research hotspot in broadband array signal processing and the neck such as be widely used in video conference, speech processes and subsurface communication Domain.
Constant beam-width Wave beam forming refers to broadband signal by making the master of beam pattern after a certain specific sensor array Valve width keeps relative constant in scope of design, efficiently solves the inconsistent problem of broad-band EDFA frequency.According to biography Sensor array broadband signal model, the principal element for influencing beam pattern have the weighting coefficient of array element number and each array element.Various In traditional beamforming algorithm, it is wide not to provide enough constant wave beams for Capon Wave beam forming, blocking matrix Wave beam forming etc. It spends and parameter mismatch sensitivity is lower and robustness is poor;And undistorted response (the Minimum Variance of minimum variance Distortionless Response, MVDR), linear constraint minimal variance (Linearly Constrained Minimum Variance, LCMV), the robust ada- ptive beamformers algorithm such as weighted least-squares (Weighted Least Squares, WLS), though The robustness of beamforming algorithm is so improved, but still does not have ideal constant beam angle.Utilize wave beam response and FIR The beamformer with constant beamwidth of relational design between (Finite Impulse Response, FIR) filter array improves The constant beam-width characteristic of Beam-former.
By analyzing above, array received is caused to be believed for increment difference corresponding to different frequency component in broadband signal Number distortion is led to the problem of, thus this case generates.
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of constant beam-width Beamforming Method based on FIR filter, can make battle array It is listed in main lobe width to the input signal of different frequency roomage response having the same, utilizes FIR filter array and Mike The symmetric properties of wind even linear array, design have approximately constant beamwidth and the Beam-former compared with low sidelobe array response.
In order to achieve the above objectives, solution of the invention is:
