Design and Analysis of a 2-D Eigenspace-Based Interference Canceller

Page 733.

Abstract:

This paper deals with the problem of eigenspace-based interference cancellation using a two-dimensional (2-D) rectangular array. An efficient 2-D signal blocking technique is presented to remove the desired signal from the received array data. In conjunction with the 2-D signal blocking technique, a positive definite matrix is further constructed and used to compensate the effect of the signal blocking operation on the sensor noise received by a 2-D eigenspace-based interference canceller (EIC). Therefore, the interference subspace required for computing the optimal weight vector of the designed 2-D EIC can be obtained by simply using conventional eigenvalue decomposition methods instead of any complicated generalized eigenvalue decomposition methods. The performances of the designed 2-D EIC under finite samples and steering angle error are also evaluated. The developed theoretical results are confirmed by several simulation examples.
