Blind Beamforming for Noncircular Signals Yougen Xu, and Zhiwen Liu Department of Electronic Engineering, Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing 100081, China Abstract Blind beamforming for extracting noncircular signals without a prior knowledge on the desired steering vector is considered in this paper. Three second-order statistic based blind schemes, termed as subspace decomposition, self-reference, and extraction power maximization methods, respectively, are proposed to extract one desired non- circular signal from a number of statistically independent circular interferences in the presence of circular Gaus- sian noise with arbitrary and unknown correlation structure. Two joint second- and fourth-order cumulant based methods are also developed for the case of multiple noncircular interferences. One is ESPRIT (estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques) type method. The other represents a real-valued extension of the WL-MVDR (widely linear minimum variance distortionless response). Numerical examples are shown to illustrate the performance of the proposed methods. The latest version of this online-only showing has also been submitted to IET Signal Processing .

Introduction Blind beamforming has found numerous important applications in radar, sonar, wireless communi- cations, and biomedical imaging, mainly because it can restore one or more desired signals from multi- ple cochannel interfering signals and noise without a prior knowledge of the array manifold and the need for training signal [ 1-2]. In contrast, the non-blind beamforming tec
