A Novel IIR Wideband Beamforming Algorithm Based on the Equivalent Design of Laguerre Filter
Conventional broadband beamforming structures make use of finite-impulse-response(FIR)filters in each channel.It has been proven that the optimal frequency-dependent array weightings of broadband beamformers could be better approximated by infinite-impulse-response(IIR)filters.However
some potential problems
such as stability monitoring and the high computational complexity
of the IIR filters due to the adaptive algorithm required to adjust the poles make the implementation of the IIR beamformers difficult.In this paper
a novel broadband IIR beamformer is proposed to solve these problems.Based on the high order Laguerre beamformer
an equivalent lower order IIR beamformer is designed by using the method of bilinear transformation and pencil-of-functions.The simulations illustrate that without the process of adjusting the poles
the proposed method can ensure the stability
reduce the computational complexity and improve the output SINR.
