Abstract:
The performances of adaptive array algorithms are known to suffer from a strong degradation in scenarios with moving interfering sources. In this article, basic adaptive beamforming techniques are compared using shallow sea sonar data recorded in a towed horizontal array environment with moving interfering sources originated from shipping noise. Our experimental results show the relationship between the practical performances of adaptive and conventional beamforming techniques compared in terms of output SINR or a related measure given by the noncompensated postbeamforming interference power. These results demonstrate noticeable performance improvements that can be achieved using several robust algorithms relative to traditional adaptive beamforming schemes
