Phasors 2 ??? = Re ???????? Im ??? = ?cos ?? + ? ? ? y = ???? Re

Two element beamformer ??? = ?1?1cos ?? + ??1+ ??1 +?2?2cos ?? + ??2+ ??2 By Gonfer - en wikipedia, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid =7026837
Maximize response to desired signal ??? = ?1?1cos ?? + ??1+ ??1 a2 +?2?2cos ?? + ??2+ ??2 ? = 1 Weights need a constraint Limit on total power into next stage Most cases gain increases also increase noise Zero added power a1 ?1+ + ?? ??= ??? ? = ?1
Phase relationship ?1+ + ?? ??= ??? Im ? = ?1 ?? To maximize S make ?? all align with real axis. ?2 ?1 ?2 ?1 Re ?
Phase relationship Note the convention of multiplying by the conjugate of the weight vector implies the phases Im ??1= ??1 ??2= ??2 ?1 ?2 ?1 ?2 Re ?
Magnitude ?1+ + ?? ??= ??? ? = ?1 With aligned phases, let ?? = ?? & ?? = ?? Deal with just magnitudes ? = ?1 Aha! That looks familiar Dot products are projections ? ? = ? ? cos? ?1+ + ?? ??= ?1?1+ + ????= ? ?
What is a projection? a2 ? ? ? ? = ? is maximized when ? and ? are aligned ? cos? ? a1 ?1 ? ?1= ?1 ? ?1 = ? = 1
Put it all together Recall phases were made equal ?1= ?1 ?,?2= ?2 ? Or compactly ? ? ? = And ??? ? ? = ??? = = ?
