摘要: In this paper, we propose a novel adaptive beamforming algorithm combining methods of electromagnetism and signal processing, which embeds antennas' active pattern (AP) in the diagonal loading (DL) method. It can significantly reduce beamformer's performance degradation brought by inconsistency between hypothesized idealized antenna models practical ones. Embedding AP adds array's electromagnetic characteristics to algorithm, therefore improves robust beamformer. Simulation measurement results indicate that proposed method has an appealing when there are mismatches physical aperture.
