Signal processing apparatus and method
First Claim
1. A method of processing signals received from an array of sensors, the method comprising:
- sampling and digitally converting the received signals;
processing the digitally converted signals to provide an output signal, the processing including filtering the signals using a first adaptive filter that enhances a target signal of the digitally converted signals and a second adaptive filter that suppresses an unwanted signal of the digitally converted signals, and processing the filtered signals in a frequency domain to further suppress the unwanted signal; and
processing the digitally converted signals to determine a direction of arrival of the target signal, the processing including filtering the signals using a third adaptive filter.

Abstract
A method of processing signals received from an array of sensors includes sampling and digitally converting the received signals. The digitally converted signals are processed to provide an output signal, the processing including filtering the signals using a first adaptive filter that enhances a target signal of the digitally converted signals and a second adaptive filter that suppresses an unwanted signal of the digitally converted signals, and processing the filtered signals in a frequency domain to further suppress the unwanted signal. The digitally converted signals are processed to determine a direction of arrival of the target signal, the processing including filtering the signals using a third adaptive filter.

17. A method of calculating a spectrum from a coupled signal, the method comprising:
-
deriving a target signal component S and an interference signal component I from the coupled signal;
transforming the target signal component and the interference signal component into respective frequency domain equivalents F(S) and F(I); and
constructing spectrums P(S) and P(I) of at least one equivalent in accordance with the following equations;
P(S)=|Real(F(S))|+|Imag(F(S))|+G[F(S)]*R(S)
P(I)=|Real(F(I))|+|Imag(F(I))|+G[F(I)]*R(I)where “
Real” and
“
Imag”
refer to absolute values of a real part and an imaginary part of each of the frequency domain equivalents F(S) and F(I), R(S) and R(I) are scalar adjustment factors, and G[F(S)] and G[F(I)] are functions of F(S) and F(I) respectively.
