Abstract

Beamforming algorithms are designed for generating main beams in the direction of interest and place nulls in the direction of interferences. Adaptive beamforming can be achieved by various optimization criteria. The criteria for an efficient design of algorithm is the speed of convergence, deeper null placement, better signal to noise ratio, and robustness. Motivated by the reduction in the computational complexity a new adaptive beamforming algorithm based on variable step size is proposed in this paper called sign variable step size LMS algorithm. The proposed algorithm is applied to the uniform linear array antenna. Simulation results show that it gives a better null placement in the direction of interference and the signal to noise ratio is improved upon the existing algorithms with less computational complexity.
