ABSTRACT:
An adaptive beamformer and signal processor for sonar and other signal receptor arrays, in which beamforming is accomplished by correlation feedback loops providing matched weighting across the array. To constrain the adaptive beamformer thus comprised against cancellation of useful signals from a particular angular region, which normally is the beam mainlobe or boresight region, one or more spatial notch filters are interposed within the correlation feedback loops for preventing signal suppression within such angular region.
