Abstract

Abstract : Here, a high-precision mutual coupling coefficient estimation method is proposed that is more suitable for adaptive beamforming than traditional algorithms. According to the relationship between the designed transition matrix and the signal, the proposed algorithm selects the transition matrix corresponding to the high-power signal. The high-precision estimation of the mutual coupling coefficient is obtained by using the selected transition matrix estimation, which yields relatively good estimation accuracy for the mutual coupling coefficient when the desired signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is low and relatively robust adaptive beamforming with unknown mutual coupling. Simulation results demonstrate the validity of the proposed method.
