Abstract

This paper describes an intelligent beamforming (IBF) system based on complex-valued neural network (CVNN). A multilayer network structure with complex-valued neurons has been used. The system employs the complex-valued backpropagation algorithm (CVBPA) to intelligently adapt incoming signals impinging to sensors array. Performance of the CVNN-IBF system is compared with that of the conventional single-layer adaptive system using complex-valued least mean square (CLMS) algorithm. Experiments for multiple beam-pointing and multiple null-steering demonstrate that the CVNN-IBF outperforms the CLMS one in terms of convergence speed and interferences suppression levels.
