PREFACE i PREFACE

In the past decades, sensor array processing has become more important to estimate signal parameters in the presence of noise and strong interfer-ers in real life applications such as radar, sonar, wireless communication, microphone array processing, seismology, hearing aids and medical imaging systems. In this study, the latest research studies on robust adaptive beam-forming are presented with theoretical background. In parallel to this, the paper, which was previously submitted by (1), constitute the fundamentals of the results given in the rest of the chapters. The proposed model in the paper is explained in details together with relevant background. The implementation of this model is accomplished by MATLAB optimization toolbox functions. My interest in optimum signal processing started with the Digital Signal Processing and Radar and Radiometer courses which are both given at Technical University of Denmark. Having passed these courses, I under-stood that sensor array signal processing would be my thesis subject
