Classical Beamforming Algorithms

Resource Overview

Implementation of classical beamforming algorithms. Since several programs downloaded from this site were non-functional, we decided to upload our own version for public download. This verified implementation includes key features like delay-and-sum processing, adaptive filtering, and direction-of-arrival estimation.

Detailed Documentation

Beamforming classical algorithm programs serve as essential tools for achieving beamforming objectives. During our evaluation of several programs available on this site, we encountered functional limitations in existing implementations. Consequently, we have developed and uploaded a verified program for public download and use. This implementation incorporates fundamental beamforming techniques including: - Delay-and-sum algorithm with phase compensation - Adaptive beamforming using LMS or RLS filters - Direction-of-arrival estimation through covariance matrix processing - Configurable array geometry support for uniform linear arrays The code structure features modular design with separate functions for signal preprocessing, weight calculation, and beam pattern generation. Key parameters such as element spacing, steering angles, and sampling frequency can be easily configured through initialization files. We hope this robust implementation will assist researchers and engineers in efficiently accomplishing beamforming tasks, particularly in applications like wireless communications, radar systems, and acoustic signal processing. The program includes comprehensive documentation and example usage scenarios to facilitate quick integration into various projects.
