  • Abstract
    We present a new least-squares-based approach for the joint diagonalization problem arising in blind beamforming. The resulting estimation criterion turns out to coincide with that proposed by Cardoso and Souloumaic (see IEE Proc. F, Radar Signal Process., vol.140, no.6, p.362-70, Dec. 1993) on intuitive grounds, thus establishing the optimality of their criterion in the least-squares (LS) sense.
