1. A beamformer comprising:

  • a weight computation processor configured to compute a covariance of a conversion signal which is obtainable by converting an input signal using at least one conversion function, to approximate the computed covariance to a Toeplitz matrix form, and to compute an input signal weight which includes at least one from among a direct weight for the input signal and a conversion signal weight that is a weight for the conversion signal based on a result of the approximating; and

    a synthesizer configured to generate an output signal using the computed input signal weight.
