Abstract: A novel blocking matrix design technique is proposed for adaptive beamforming of microphone array based on the generalized sidelobe canceller (GSC) structure. The classical GSC presented by Griffiths and Jim suffers from desired signal cancellation problems due to the complicated acoustic environment. To overcome this issue, this work utilizes the pseudo-inverse property of matched filter array and subarray structure to design a new blocking matrix of the GSC. For practical implementation, matched filter ratios between microphone pairs are estimated, as compared with estimating matched filters from the sound source to each microphone. In addition, since most additive noises in signal are non-Gaussian, the adaptive filtering is applied to adaptive interference canceller to enhance the robustness to the system model dynamics. Simulation results are presented to show the effectiveness of the proposed method.
