Abstract

In order to improve the robustness of microphone array beamformer in existing mismatch errors, robust beamforming algorithm based on linear constrained minimum variance and diagonal loading method is proposed. The proposed algorithm incorporates the spatial response variation function into the linear constrainted minimum variance criterion to design the frequency invariant beamformer and improve the robustness against microphone array mismatch errors in the actual environment by diagonal loading method. Simulation results and analyses illustrate that the array response within passband is robust, the stopband amplitude is controlled in the appropriate range, and the proposed algorithm based closed solution is better than the proposed algorithm based on convex optimization algorithm.
