Wideband Beamforming Concepts and Techniques

This book provides an excellent reference for all professionals working in the area of array signal processing and its applications in wireless communications. Wideband beamforming has advanced with the increasing bandwidth in wireless communications and the development of ultra wideband (UWB) technology. In this book, the authors address the fundamentals and most recent developments in the field of wideband beamforming. The book provides a thorough coverage of the subject including major sub-areas such as sub-band adaptive beamforming, frequency invariant beamforming, blind wideband beamforming, beamforming without temporal processing, and beamforming for multi-path signals. Key Features:Unique book focusing on wideband beamformingDiscusses a hot topic coinciding with the increasing bandwidth in wireless communications and the development of UWB technologyAddresses the general concept of beamforming including fixed beamformers and adaptive beamformersCovers advanced topics including sub-band adaptive beamforming, frequency invariant beamforming, blind wideband beamforming, beamforming without temporal processing, and beamforming for multi-path signalsIncludes various design examples and corresponding complexity analyses
