To effectively overcome the influence of model mismatch on the performance of adaptive beamformer
a modified iterative robust adaptive beamformer is proposed.Based on the integration of steering vector within or without the angular sector of desired signal's direction of arrival (DOA)
a new stopping criterion is constructed in the proposed algorithm.Using the new stopping criterion
the weak robustness against stopping criterion parameter in iterative diagonally loaded sample matrix inverse (ILSMI) robust adaptive beamformer is strengthened
and the output signal-to-interference-and-noise ratio (SINR) is improved obviously.Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively improve the robustness of beamformer against different types of model mismatch.Moreover
the proposed algorithm can deal with DOA mismatch in large region
and the robustness against the angular sector of DOA is quite strong.
