Abstract

Two methods are proposed for reducing the effect of white noise in wideband uniform rectangular arrays via a combination of judiciously designed transformations followed by a series of highpass filters. The reduced noise level leads to a higher signal to noise ratio for the system, which in turn results in a clear improvement on the performance of various beamforming applications. As a representative example, the reference signal based (RSB) and the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) beamformers are employed here to demonstrate the improved performance, which is also confirmed by simulations.
