Abstract

In this paper, we propose a novel robust adaptive beamforming algorithm with direction-of-arrival (DOA) support for the coprirne array. Specifically, by using the property of coprirne number, we may estimate the DOAs of sources by matching two super-resolution spatial spectra of the pair of decomposed coprime subarrays. After that, the power of each source can be estimated via a covariance matrix joint estimation problem corresponding to the pair of decomposed coprime sub-arrays. Taking the estimated DOAs and their corresponding power as the support information, the interference-plus-noise covariance matrix for the coprime array can be reconstructed, from which the minimum variance distortionless response beamformer weight vector can be calculated. Simulation results show that the proposed adaptive beamforming algorithm is more robust to signal look direction mismatch than the existing algorithms.
