Abstract

The multistage CMA adaptive beamformer is a blind adaptive antenna system capable of recovering several narrowband cochannel signals. Each stage of the system captures one source (without using a training signal), removes it before processing by subsequent stages, and provides an estimate of its direction of arrival. This system would be useful in frequency reuse applications, such as cellular radio or personal communication networks, where cochannel interference is an important consideration. We present the steady-state convergence properties of the first stage of the multistage CMA adaptive beamformer. Computer simulations are presented to verify the analytical results
