A least squares formulation for the design of frequency invariant beamformers (FIBs) is proposed with two solutions provided. One is based on the Lagrange multipliers method and the other one is based on an orthogonal decomposition of the coefficient vector to transform the constrained design problem into an unconstrained one. Design examples including both broadside and off-broadside main beams are...
Two novel broadband beamformers robust against look direction estimation errors are proposed. One is designed by imposing a frequency invariance constraint and limiting the magnitude response of the beamformer within a pre-defined range, and the other one is obtained by combining the frequency invariance constraint and the worst-case performance optimization method, both of which are formulated as...
A least squares approach to the design of frequency invariant beamformers (FIBs) in subbands is proposed. In this approach, the desired fullband beam response is first expressed as a function of the subband beamformer coefficients, and then a closed form solution is obtained based on a constrained least squares formulation. Two design examples are provided, with one based on a uniform linear array...
In a collaborative scenario, a multiplicity of portable devices may constitute a network of distributed microphones, without a clearly defined geometric configuration or synchronization that can be taken advantage of for traditional microphone array processing to enhance the acquired signal. This application scenario represents a severe, but interesting challenge for automatic speech recognition systems...
The design of frequency invariant beamformers for traditional tapped delay-line array system can be formulated as a convex optimization problem and solved efficiently using the interior-point methods. This approach is extended to the recently proposed broadband beamforming system with sensor delay-lines and some variations are proposed to cope with the specific requirements in the design. Design examples...
