Prerequisites / Organisational information
The lecture Statistical Signal Processing should be attended.

Contents
Fundamentals:
Definitions, Beamforming, directivity pattern. Performance criteria (beam-width, sidelobes). Snapshots and spatial correlation matrix. Linear arrays as sampling of continuous aperture sensor, wideband signals and nested arrays.

Optimal array processors:
Minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR, Capon), Minimum power distortionless response (MPDR), Maximum SNR, MMSE beamformer Linearly constrained minimum variance (LCMV). Influence of multi-path.

Array characteristics:
Sensitivity and robustness. Superdirective beamformer.

Adaptive spatial filtering:
Frost method, generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC).

Localization:
Maximum likelihood estimation, resolution, Cramér-Rao lower bound. Bartlett method, method based on eigen-decomposition (if time permits): Pisarenko, MUSIC, ESPRIT. MVDR estimation. Performance evaluation (e.g. resolution) and comparison.

Recommended literature
