The invention belongs to the field of array
signal processing and mainly relates to robustness of a standard
Capon self-adaptive beam forming
algorithm based on
covariance matrix reconstruction to interference
signal steering vector errors. The beam forming
algorithm based on subspace interference-plus-
noise covariance matrix reconstruction comprises the following steps: at first, utilizing matrix received data to estimate the steering vector a(theta d), d=2,3,...,D and the power sigma<2> d(theta d) of all D-1 interference signals and meanwhile estimate the
noise power sigma<2>, wherein d=2,3,...,D; then reconstructing an interference-plus-
noise covariance matrix R' according to the definition R of the interference-plus-noise
covariance matrix; finally, constructing a
signal covariance matrix in a relatively small angle range 1; taking the dominant eigenvector of the signal
covariance matrix as a desired signal steering vector to estimate a(theta 1); together with the reconstructed R', obtaining a novel beam forming weighing vector W, wherein the formulas of R, R' and W are shown in the description. The beam forming method provided by the invention overcomes the defects of the conventional beam forming
algorithm, thereby having good robustness to interference signal steering vector errors.
