AbstractThis paper proposes a new division-free generalized sidelobe canceller-based adaptive beamformer and its efficient hardware realization. A discrete cosine transform-based blocking matrix is proposed for uniform linear array to decorrelate the input so as to achieve a faster convergence speed. A new variable step-size least mean squares algorithm for complex input is proposed to further improve the convergence and the steady-state performance of the adaptive beamformer. Moreover, a variable regularization scheme is incorporated to mitigate possible signal cancellation due to possible mismatches in steering vector. Furthermore, a statistical analysis on the mean and mean squares convergence of the algorithm is performed and validated using Monte Carlo simulations. An efficient architecture of the proposed adaptive beamformer is also proposed for its real-time implementation. It employs a novel division-free approach by quantizing the normalization factor into a limited number of levels so that the division can be implemented using canonical signed digits, resulting in multiplier-less realization. The performance of the resultant division-free implementation can achieve similar convergence and steady-state performance as a conventional divider approach while achieving at least 21% less hardware resources and 26.85% higher operating speed in Xilinx Virtex7 (XC7VX330T) field programming gate array for an eight-sensor uniform linear array. Finally, the beam can be stabilized remarkably in only 1 μs at a system clock frequency of 124 MHz.
