Abstract

Preprocessors based on focusing broadband signals to achieve a rank-one direction vector for each broadband source are designed both in the frequency and time domains. The preprocessor is then followed by any of the frequency-independent beamforming techniques. The merits that result as a consequence are partial adaptivity due to frequency-independent weights and decoherence of coherent signals, thus combating signal cancellation. In addition, robustness against lock-direction pointing errors can be incorporated into the preprocessor design. Expressions for the desired-signal distortion in the single interference case are derived and analyzed. Simulation results confirm the utility of the focusing preprocessors.
