The robust adaptive beamforming design problem based on estimation of the signal of interest steering vector is considered in the paper. In this case, the optimal beamformer is obtained by computing the sample matrix inverse and an optimal estimate of the signal of interest steering vector. The common criteria to find the best estimate of the steering vector are the beamformer output SINR and output power, while the constraints assume as little as possible prior inaccurate knowledge about the signal of interest, the propagation media, and the antenna array. Herein, a new beamformer output power maximization problem is formulated and solved subject to a double-sided norm perturbation constraint, a similarity constraint, and a quadratic constraint that guarantees that the direction-of-arrival (DOA) of the signal of interest is away from the DOA region of all linear combinations of the interference steering vectors. In the new robust design, the prior information required consists of some allowable error norm bounds, the approximate knowledge of the antenna array geometry, and the angular sector of the signal of interest. It turns out that the array output power maximization problem is a non-convex QCQP problem with inhomogeneous constraints. However, we show that the problem is still solvable, and develop efficient algorithms for finding globally optimal estimate of the signal of interest steering vector. The results are generalized to the case where an ellipsoidal constraint is considered, and sufficient conditions for the global optimality are derived. In addition, a new quadratic constraint on the actual signal steering vector is proposed in order to improve the array performance. To validate our results, simulation examples are presented, and they demonstrate the improved performance of the new robust beamformers in terms of the output SINR as well as the output power.

This paper considers the regularized estimation of covariance matrices (CM) of high-dimensional (compound) Gaussian data for minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beamforming. Linear shrinkage is applied to improve the accuracy and conditio
n number of the CM estimate for low-sample-support cases. We focus on data-driven techniques that automatically choose the linear shrinkage factors for shrinkage sample covariance matrix ($text{S}^2$CM) and shrinkage Tylers estimator (STE) by exploiting cross validation (CV). We propose leave-one-out cross-validation (LOOCV) choices for the shrinkage factors to optimize the beamforming performance, referred to as $text{S}^2$CM-CV and STE-CV. The (weighted) out-of-sample output power of the beamfomer is chosen as a proxy of the beamformer performance and concise expressions of the LOOCV cost function are derived to allow fast optimization. For the large system regime, asymptotic approximations of the LOOCV cost functions are derived, yielding the $text{S}^2$CM-AE and STE-AE. In general, the proposed algorithms are able to achieve near-oracle performance in choosing the linear shrinkage factors for MVDR beamforming. Simulation results are provided for validating the proposed methods.
Blocking is often used to reduce known variability in designed experiments by collecting together homogeneous experimental units. A common modelling assumption for such experiments is that responses from units within a block are dependent. Accounting
for such dependencies in both the design of the experiment and the modelling of the resulting data when the response is not normally distributed can be challenging, particularly in terms of the computation required to find an optimal design. The application of copulas and marginal modelling provides a computationally efficient approach for estimating population-average treatment effects. Motivated by an experiment from materials testing, we develop and demonstrate designs with blocks of size two using copula models. Such designs are also important in applications ranging from microarray experiments to experiments on human eyes or limbs with naturally occurring blocks of size two. We present methodology for design selection, make comparisons to existing approaches in the literature and assess the robustness of the designs to modelling assumptions.
Algorithms which compute locally optimal continuous designs often rely on a finite design space or on repeatedly solving a complex non-linear program. Both methods require extensive evaluations of the Jacobian Df of the underlying model. These evalua
tions present a heavy computational burden. Based on the Kiefer-Wolfowitz Equivalence Theorem we present a novel design of experiments algorithm which computes optimal designs in a continuous design space. For this iterative algorithm we combine an adaptive Bayes-like sampling scheme with Gaussian process regression to approximate the directional derivative of the design criterion. The approximation allows us to adaptively select new design points on which to evaluate the model. The adaptive selection of the algorithm requires significantly less evaluations of Df and reduces the runtime of the computations. We show the viability of the new algorithm on two examples from chemical engineering.
The problem of radar detection in compound Gaussian clutter when a radar signature is not completely known has not been considered yet and is addressed in this paper. We proposed a robust technique to detect, based on the generalized likelihood ratio
test, a point-like target embedded in compound Gaussian clutter. Employing an array of antennas, we assume that the actual steering vector departs from the nominal one, but lies in a known interval. The detection is then secured by employing a semi-definite programming. It is confirmed via simulation that the proposed detector experiences a negligible detection loss compared to an adaptive normalized matched filter in a perfectly matched case, but outperforms in cases of mismatched signal. Remarkably, the proposed detector possesses constant false alarm rate with respect to the clutter covariance matrix.
Channel estimation in wideband millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems is very challenging due to the beam squint effect. To solve the problem, we propose a learnable iterative shrinkage thresholding algorithm-based channel estimator (LISTA-CE) based on dee
p learning. The proposed channel estimator can learn to transform the beam-frequency mmWave channel into the domain with sparse features through training data. The transform domain enables us to adopt a simple denoiser with few trainable parameters. We further enhance the adaptivity of the estimator by introducing emph{hypernetwork} to automatically generate learnable parameters for LISTA-CE online. Simulation results show that the proposed approach can significantly outperform the state-of-the-art deep learning-based algorithms with lower complexity and fewer parameters and adapt to new scenarios rapidly.
