Memory-efficient approximate three-dimensional beamforming by Rypkema, Nicholas R., Fischell, Erin M., Schmidt, Henrik

“…Software-based conventional beamforming (CBF) forces a trade-off between memory usage and direction resolution, since time delays associated with a set of directions over which the beamformer is steered must be pre-computed and stored, limiting the number of look directions to available platform memory. …”

Orientational beamforming via a modified RBF neural network for orientational UWB interference rejection by Han, Jiangyan, Ng, Boon Poh, Er, Meng Hwa

“…However, the conventional Euclidean-distance-based RBF neural network is not suitable for the training process used in this work, as the training samples are noiseless orientational steering vectors in frequency domain. Therefore, a modified RBF neural network is proposed in this paper, which evaluates the similarity between an input vector and the center vector of a hidden layer neuron by their signed complex correlation coefficient. …”
