The implementation process of the broadband sub-matrix adaptive beamforming method includes steps: 1) dividing a total matrix into a plurality of sub-matrixes, leading the sub-matrixes to be aligned with local beam pointing by the aid of microwave synthesis of a phase shifter, and obtaining sub-matrix synthesis data; 2) selecting a prototype filter and obtaining corrected analyzing and comprehensive filter banks via a cosinusoidal modulation filter bank; 3) under-sampling the sub-matrix synthesis data after the sub-matrix synthesis data pass through the analyzing filter banks, solving an adaptive weight in a narrow band and performing sub-band beamforming in the narrow band; and 4) up-sampling signals after sub-band beamforming, leading the up-sampling signals to pass through the comprehensive filter banks, and summating data of the comprehensive filter banks to obtain data after broadband adaptive beamforming.

A digital signal processing system for multiplexing / demultiplexing a large number of closely spaced FDM channels in which sub-band definition filtering divides the FDM spectral band comprised of "N" channels into "K" sub-bands in order to reduce the dimension of the polyphase filter fast Fourier transform structure required to complete the multiplexing / demultiplexing. This reduces the order of the required prototype filter by a factor proportional to K. The number of sub-bands K is chosen so that it is large enough to ensure the polyphase filter, fast Fourier transform structure for each sub-band is realizable within a finite word length, fixed point arithmetic implementation compatible with a low power consumption. To facilitate efficient sub-band definition filtering, the real basebanded composite signal is inputted at a spectral offset from DC equal to one quarter the FDM channel bandwidth for the N channels and the signal is sampled at a frequency 50% greater than the applicable Nyquist rate. The quarter band spectral offset and oversampling by 50% above the theoretical Nyquist rate facilitate the use of computationally efficient bandshift and symmetric half-band Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filtering.

A multirate spectral analyzer receives a data sequence through a tapped delay line (510) onto a plurality of filter channels, each of which includes a first decimator (520), a polyphase filter (530), and a second decimator (540). Each filter channel is coupled to a transform processor (550) which modulates the frequency response of the polyphase filters to a plurality of identical bandpass filters spaced evenly at 2πk / M intervals, where k=1, 2, . . . , M−1, and M is the number of filter channels. The transform processor (550) outputs a plurality of time series representative of the frequency component for each of the corresponding filter channels. By choosing a prototype filter order to be much larger than the number of filter channels, the effects of aliasing in the output are greatly reduced. The reduction in aliasing further allows, by prudent selection of the two decimators, for fractional temporal overlap to be implemented in the spectral estimates.
