摘要
It is well known that calibration errors can seriously degrade performance in adaptive arrays, particularly when the input signal-to-noise ratio is large. The effect is caused by the perturbation of the presumed steering vector from its optimal value. Although it is not as widely known, similar degradation occurs in sampled matrix inversion processing when the covariance matrix is estimated while the desired signal is present in the snapshot data. Under these conditions, performance loss is due to errors in the estimated covariance matrix and occurs even when the steering vector is known exactly. In this paper, a new method based on modification of the steering vector is proposed to overcome both the problems of perturbation and of sample covariance errors. The method involves projection of the presumed steering vector onto the observed signal-plus-interference subspace. An analysis is also presented illustrating that the sample covariance errors can be viewed as a particular type of perturbation error and a simple approximation is derived for the expected beamformer performance as a function of the number of data snapshots. Both analytical and experimental results are presented that illustrate the advantages of the proposed method.
