A CLT on the SINR of the diagonally loaded Capon/MVDR beamformer [PDF]
The Capon or minimum variance distorsionless response (MVDR) beamformer is a prominent example of spatial filtering structure in sensor array signal processing. Typical implementations of this beamformer are based on a regularized or diagonally-loaded version of the sample covariance matrix estimator.

Performance analysis of beamformers using generalized loading of the covariance matrix in the presence of random steering vector errors [PDF]
Robust adaptive beamforming is a key issue in array applications where there exist uncertainties about the steering vector of interest. Diagonal loading is one of the most popular techniques to improve robustness.

Capon- and APES-Based SAR Processing: Performance and Practical Considerations [PDF]
This paper discusses the use of Capon's minimum-variance method (MVM) and Amplitude and Phase EStimation (APES) spectral-estimation algorithms to synthetic aperture radar rangeâ  azimuth focusing. The rationale of the algorithms is discussed.

Robust adaptive beamforming using a Bayesian steering vector error model [PDF]
We propose a Bayesian approach to robust adaptive beamforming which entails considering the steering vector of interest as a random variable with some prior distribution.

Adaptive beamforming for large arrays in satellite communications systems with dispersed coverage [PDF]
Conventional multibeam satellite communications systems ensure coverage of wide areas through multiple fixed beams where all users inside a beam share the same bandwidth. We consider a new and more flexible system where each user is assigned his own beam,

Improved Mainlobe Interference Suppression Based on Blocking Matrix Preprocess
For the problem of mainlobe direction shifting that is caused by the mainlobe interference suppression based on blocking matrix preprocess, an effective method is proposed which is based on the combination of diagonal loading and linear constraints ...
