Beamforming analysis based on CSB sin-FDA

This paper studies the adaptive beamforming algorithm based on the frequency diverse array(FDA) array where the interference is located at the same angle(but different range)with the target. We take the cross subarray-based FDA with sinusoidal frequency offset(CSB sin-FDA) as the receiving array instead of the basic FDA. The sampling covariance matrix under insufficient snapshot can be corrected by the automatic diagonal loading method. On the basis of decomposing the mismatched steering vector error into a vertical component and a parallel one,this paper searches the vertical component of the error by the quadratic constraint method. The numerical simulation verifies that the beamformer based on the CSB sin-FDA can effectively hold the mainlobe at the target position when the snapshot is insufficient or the steering vector is mismatched.
