Abstract

In this paper, the optimal and precise array response control (OPARC) algorithm proposed in Part I of this two paper series is extended from single point to multi-points. Two computationally attractive parameter determination approaches are provided to maximize the array gain under certain constraints. In addition, the applications of the multi-point OPARC algorithm to array signal processing are studied. It is applied to realize array pattern synthesis (including the general array case and the large array case), multi-constraint adaptive beamforming, and quiescent pattern control, where an innovative concept of normalized covariance matrix loading is proposed. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the effectiveness and good performance of the multi-point OPARC algorithm.
