Abstract

This paper emphasizes on the beamforming techniques used in today’s systems. Multiple beamforming techniques such as the Minimum Variance Distortionless Response (MVDR) and Linear Constraint Minimum Variance (LCMV), to name a few, are used to improve the capacity and data rates of various systems such as cellular system. Both mentioned techniques are based on the received weight vector of the desired signal. This paper presents the mathematical difference as well as the power difference between LCMV and MVDR beamforming techniques.
