Abstract
In this paper, we examine the beam width performance of the recently addressed robust Capon beam formers (RCB). This adaptive array employs the estimated steering vector, injected noise, and pseudo-interference to provide robustness against direction mismatch. With the generalized side lobe canceller (GSC) as the underlying structure, we first derive the effect of angular mismatch on the estimated interference correlation matrix. Then, a simple approximate expression is presented for output signal-to-interference-plus-noise-ratio (SINR) of this new beam former. Based on this expression, the angular beam width of this robust beam former is investigated. Simulation results verify the analytically predicted performance.
