Abstract

We show that recent robust adaptive beamformers,
based on reconstructing either the noise-plus-interference or
the data covariance matrices, are sensitive to the noise-plus-
interference structure and degrade in the typical case when
interferer steering vector mismatch exists, often performing much
worse than common diagonally loaded sample covariance matrix
based approaches, even when signal-of-interest steering vector
mismatch is absent.
