Abstract

The paper deals with the problem of adaptive array beamforming using a uniform circular array (UCA) in the presence of coherent interference. The well-known scheme of spatial smoothing (SS) widely used to tackle the coherent problem in the cases of 1-D uniform linear array (ULA) and uniform rectangular array (URA) cannot work for the UCA case. This is mainly due to the fact that the direction vector of each signal received by a UCA does not possess a Vandermonde structure. In this paper, we present a method based on subarray beamforming in conjunction with an averaging scheme to effectively mitigate the effect due to coherent interference in the UCA case. Theoretical analysis regarding the validity of the proposed method is also presented. Several simulation examples are provided for showing the effectiveness of the proposed method.
