• Time domain methods based on tapped delay line adaptive filters are often used for wideband adaptive arrays.
• Frequency domain methods in which each frequency bin is treated as a narrowband beamformer are also used– Non Coherent .

• The wideband focusing approach for adaptive beamforming based on the concept of signal subspace alignment was originally proposed by Wang & Kaveh in the 80’s– Coherent.

• In practice there is a performance degradation due to array calibrationerrors, and covariance estimation errors (SMI)
• The focused MVDR beamformer will exhibit an additional sensitivityto the focusing errors especially at high SNR

Robust MVDR focused beamformers for coherent wideband array processing
In order to reduce the sensitivity to focusing errors we propose two methods:
• General-Rank focused MVDR (GR-MVDR)
This method is based on modifying the MVDR beamformer by implementing a robust General-Rank (GR) beamforming scheme.
• Enhanced Focusing (EF)
This method is based on modifying the focusing transformation so that the focusing error is reduced in the direction of the desired source.
Simulation results show that the proposed methods reduce the sensitivityto focusing errors and improve the AG in high SNR values.

Summary• In this work we have proposed and investigated a Bayesian approach for
focusing transformation design.
• It yields an optimal MMSE focusing transformation and consequently an
improved beamformer with better AG.
• We combat the sensitivity to modeling errors such as focusing errors by
extending the diagonal loading to the focused wideband beamformer.
• Numerical and simulative results demonstrate the superiority of the BFT and
of the Q-loaded beamformer for the multi-source case with DOA
uncertainties.
• We also investigate the sensitivity to focusing errors in high SNR and propose
two robust methods for focused MVDR aiming at reducing this sensitivity.

Future research• Extension to the case that the signals propagate in a multipath
environment
• Optimize the BFT performance by model their PDFs in more advanced way, for example, model their variance using the CRB
• Incorporating robust extension of the WINGS method also to the BFT method aiming at increasing the robustness to the noise gain of the transformation
• Choosing the optimal focusing frequency
• Reducing the computational complexity of the BFT
