Robust Adaptive Array Beamforming for Cyclostationary Signals Under Cycle Frequency Error

Page 233.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the problem of robust adaptive array beamforming for cyclostationary signals. By exploiting the signal cyclostationarity, the SCORE algorithms presented in [6] have been shown to be effective in performing adaptive beamforming without requiring the direction vector of the desired signal. However, these algorithms suffer from severe performance degradation even if there is a small mismatch in the cycle frequency of the desired signal. In this paper, we first evaluate the performance of the SCORE algorithms in the presence of cycle frequency error (CFE). An analytical formula is derived to show the behavior of the performance degradation due to CFE. Based on the theoretical result, we then develop an efficient method in conjunction with the SCORE algorithms to achieve robust adaptive beamforming against the CFE. Several simulation examples for confirming the theoretical analysis and showing the effectiveness of the proposed method are also presented.
