This paper proposes a new GSC (Generalized Sidelobe Canceller) structure, called HLMS-GSC. Compared to Griffiths and Jim's GSC structure, the number of complex multiplication required is reduced to one half. The simulation results show that the minimum mean square errors and performance of nulling jammers by using HLMS-GSC are almost the same compared to Griffiths and Jim's GSC, although the complexity is reduced significantly. As a result, the proposed adaptive beamformer is good for real time implementation, since it has low complexity compared to previous GSC structures.

In this paper, a PC-based real-time microphone array system with small aperture is presented. The microphone array system is based on the generalized sidelobe canceler (GSC) but it employs a new adaptation mode controller (AMC). The performance of the proposed system was evaluated in the Multimedia Room modeled on an office situation. Evaluation experiments show that the proposed system can perform with stable noise suppression.

The conventional GSC is inappropriate in real situation when the target signal is present. The steering vector error cancels the target signal and the target signal misadjusts the weight of the adaptive filter. To prevent the target signal cancellation, the robust GSC using the constrained adaptive filters was already proposed. However, the adaptive weight misadjustment is not settled in robust GSC. This Paper proposes a revised robust sidelobe canceller with adaptive compensator. To compensate the influence of target signal, the adaptive compensator is used in cascade. In computer simulation, we show the performance improvement by comparing the robust GSC with the proposed GSC.

In this paper we propose a new efficient generalized sidelobe canceller(GSC) algorithm, using the efficient frequency domain LMS algorithm, which has much less weights to update. We only update part of all the weights according to magnitude of each frequency bin. So, the new proposed GSC algorithm, which is called censored GSC(C-GSC), can greatly reduce the computational complexity.

This paper propose a new GSC (Generalized Sidelobe Canceller) structure, called HFLMS-GSC. The number of complex multiplication required is reduced to one half compared to FLMS-GSC. The simulation results show that mean square error converging and jamming signal removing characteristics are almost the same compared to FLMS-GSC, although the complexity is reduced significantly. As a result, the proposed structure is good for real time implementation, since it has low complexity compared to previous GSC structures.

Under the condition of a common narrowband target signal and interference signals from several directions, the linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV) method using the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) for adaptive beamforming has been exploited successfully However, in the case of wideband signals, the length of the adaptive filter must be extended. As a result, the complexity of the beamformer increases, which makes real-time implementation difficult. In this paper, we improve the convergence characteristics of the adaptive filter using the transform domain normalized least mean square (NLMS) approach based on the subband GSC structure without the increase of complexity. Besides, the M-MAX algorithm, which is one of various selective coefficient updating methods, is employed in order to remarkably reduce the computational cost without decreasing the convergence quality. With the combination of these methods, we propose a computationally efficient wideband adaptive beamformer and verify its efficiency through a series of simulations.

This paper proposes a frequency-domain partially adaptive algorithm, called a censoring algorithm, to reduce the computational complexity of the frequency domain adaptive array. The proposed censoring algorithm determines the existence of interferences in the frequency-domain at each frequency bin using a constant false alarm rate (CFAR) processor. The censoring algorithm adapts only those parts of the weights that correspond to the frequency bins expected to contain interferences. The censoring algorithm is also expanded to overcome the signal cancellation phenomenon caused by smart jammers. Accordingly, a censoring spatial smoothing, which combines the censoring algorithm with spatial smoothing, is proposed. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithms are effective in removing interferences with only part of the computational complexity of conventional algorithms yet with the same level of performance.

본 논문에서는 GSC(Generalized Sidelobe Canceller)를 기초로 새로운 부밴드 광대역 적응 빔포밍 구조를 제안하였다. 일반적으로 여러개의 필터계수를 갖는 광대역 빔포밍에서는 그 필터길이가 커짐에 따라 많은 계산량을 필요로 하고 그 성능이 감소한다는 단점이 있었다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해 부밴드 필터구조를 이용함으로써 전밴드 필터구조에서보다 더 낮은 계산량과 그 pre-whitening 효과로 그 성능이 향상되었다. 부밴드 필터뱅크 구조에서 광대역 적응 빔포밍이 수행될 때 NLMS(Normalized Least Mean Squares) 적응 알고리즘을 이용하여 GSC의 수렴성능을 검증하였고, 각각의 부밴드 적응필터에서 MSE를 독립적으로 최소화시키는 적응 메카니즘을 사용하여 추정하였다. 모의실험을 통하여 제안한 부밴드 필터구조가 전밴드 구조에서보다 수렴성능이 더 우수함을 검증하였다.

Griffiths and Jim has proposed a beamforming structure called GSC algorithm, in which antenna elements are grouped into main-channel and sub-channel, and sidelobe is reduced by applying adaptive LMS algorithm. This paper proposes WLMS-GSC algorithm where the Haar and Daubechies wavelet filters are used to process array antenna output, instead of using subtractor filter. We analyze characteristics of the proposed WLMS-GSC algorithm. The WLMS-GSC has characteristic of reducing the computational requirement one-half compared to the LMS-GSC algorithm. In addition, we obtain MSE characteristics and adaptive beampattern of WLMS-GSC algorithm, and compared with the performance of LMS-GSC algorithm. The simulation results show that the WLMS-GSC algorithm proposed in this paper gives better or almost the same performance, compared to the LMS-GSC algorithm. In addition, the newly proposed structure has advantage of low computational requirements.

In this paper, we study the performance of eigencanceller which use a eigenvector and eigenvalue in order to update a weighter vector. Eigencanceller can suppress directional interferences and noise effectively while maintaining specified beam pattern constraints. The constraints and optimal weight vector of eigencanceller vary by using interference and noise or desired signal, interference signal and noise as array input signal. From the analysis results in the steady state, We show that weight vectors in each case are simplified the form of projection equation that belongs to desired subspace orthogonal to interference subspace and eigencanceller has the better performance than RLS method through mathematical analysis and simulation.
