“…Beamforming is a technology that adjusts the amplitude and phase of signals transmitted or received by each array element in an array, so that the array can observe the target signals from a specific direction while attenuating the signal response in other directions [1][2][3] . It has been widely employed in many fields, such as sonar, ultrasonic imaging, intelligent transportation, communication system, etc [4][5][6][7] .…”

When the desired signal data exists in the array received data or the steering vector has a mismatch problem, the current traditional adaptive beamformers will suffer from the effect of the desired signal cancellation phenomenon, resulting in a sharp decline in performance. To address the occurrence of desired signal cancellation, an improved matrix projection-based efficient beamforming method is proposed. Firstly, based on spatial partitioning technology, a significant projection matrix for interference-plus-noise space (INS) is constructed. Secondly, using the constructed key projection matrix, the sample data covariance matrix is projected into the INS to achieve the goal of suppressing the desired signal data information. Finally, the weight data vector is calculated by Capon beamformer. The proposed algorithm does not require iterative search for the optimal solution, which has the advantage of a small amount of calculation. Simulation experiments have verified that the proposed method has significant advantages in suppressing the desired data signals. Especially when the desired data signal has a large power, the signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) of the proposed algorithm is better than that of the compared algorithms under the conditions of random directionality errors or local scattering errors between the desired signal and interference.
