A new set of linear constraints for broadband time domain element space processors

This paper presents a new set of linear constraints for designing broadband time domain element space processor which can handle a variety of steering situations, namely, no pre-steering, coarse/ quantized pre-steering and exact pre-steering. The relationship that the new processor has to other broadband processors is established. Furthermore, the approach presented enables the processors to be made robust against directional errors. Analytical as well as simulation results on the new processors are presented.
