Based on a unitary transformation, an improved adaptive beamforming via orthogonal projection is proposed. The new algorithm transforms a complex valued covariance matrix into a real valued matrix by means of a unitary transformation, and then eigen decomposes the transformed matrix for adaptive beamforming. The overall computational load is only about one fourth that required by the original orthogonal projection method. At the same time, due to the existence of the forward bakcward averaging effect which is equivalent to doubling the number of snapshots during the course of the computation for the real valued matrix, the new method may upgrade the robustness in the case of the small number of snapshots and closely spaced jamming sources, and raise the output signal to interference plus noise ratio. Additionally, the spatial smoothing can decorrelate possibly correlated source pairs, and therefore, the method presented has the advantages of the better performance of jammer suppression and stronger ability to reshape the beam over the orthogonal projection and sample matrix inversion algorithms in scenarios with partially correlated or fully coherent sources. The computer simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
