A Switching Beamformer for Highly Non-Stationary Environments

- 用竞争性序列预测动态调整候选协方差历史权重
- 在SwellEx-96数据集上同时实现高敏捷与高精度
- 无需人工调参,适合复杂多变信号环境
自适应波束成形是阵列信号处理的核心,但在复杂快速变化的干扰下性能常急剧下降。当干扰源出现或移动时,传统估计器面临根本性的记忆权衡:短窗可快速跟踪但方差大,长窗稳定却无法适应变化。本文提出通用切换波束成形器(USB),将竞争性序列预测融入波束成形架构,通过线性转移图隐式维护指数级庞大的候选协方差历史,并根据累积输出功率动态重加权。该机制使波束成形器能自动调整有效记忆长度,无需显式检测或启发式参数调优。理论上证明了相对于全知最优分段平稳协方差模型的遗憾上界。大量仿真及在SwellEx-96数据集上的实验表明,USB兼具短窗估计器的敏捷性和长期积分的精确性,为高度非平稳场景提供了原则性解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Adaptive beamforming is a cornerstone of array signal processing, yet its performance often collapses in the face of complex, rapidly changing interference. When interferers appear or move unpredictably, conventional estimators encounter a fundamental memory trade-off: short windows enable rapid tracking but suffer from high estimation variance, while long windows provide stable rejection but fail to adapt to shifts. This challenge is resolved by introducing the Universal Switching Beamformer (USB), which integrates competitive sequential prediction into the beamforming architecture. By employing a linear transition diagram, the USB implicitly maintains an exponentially large family of candidate covariance histories and dynamically re-weights them based on their cumulative output power. This mechanism allows the beamformer to automatically vary its effective memory length without explicit change detection or heuristic parameter tuning. A theoretical upper bound is proven on the regret relative to an omniscient oracle that selects the best piecewise-stationary covariance model in hindsight. Extensive simulations and experiments on the SwellEx-96 dataset demonstrate that the USB achieves the agility of short-window estimators and the precision of long-term integration, providing a principled solution for tracking highly non-stationary scenes.
