Abstract

In Chap. 2, the frequency-domain implementation of broadband beamformer is presented, in which the broadband signals from each sensor are decomposed into a lot of subbands using the DFT. For each subband, the narrowband condition is satisfied and the narrowband beamformers can be applied directly.
