8 LCMV linearly constrained minimum variance (Frost) Try to extract the desired signal coming from a specific direction while minimizing contributions to the output due to interfering signals and noise arriving from directions other than the direction of interest. 8

9 MVDR minimum variance distortionless response (Capon) perhaps the most widely used adaptive beamformer minimize the output power with the constraint that the desired signal is not affected. MVDR 1 9

10 MVDR finding value for 10

11 PMWF parameterized multichannel Wiener filter. derived from the classical MSE criterion. limited in practice because of its lack of flexibility. we can not control the compromise between noise reduction and speech distortion 11

12 PMWF parameterized multichannel Wiener filter. Proportional to the Capon filter (MVDR) 12

17 (Narrowband) Noise Reduction - quantifies the amount of noise being rejected by the beamformer. defined as the ratio of the power of the noise at the reference microphone over the power of the noise remaining at the beamformer output. 17

18 Scenario I: 18

19 (Narrowband) Speech Distortion- desired-signal-cancellation factor. the ratio of the variance of the desired signal at the reference microphone over the variance of the filtered desired signal at the beamformer output. Speech-distortion-index 19

20 (Narrowband) the ratio of the output SINR (after beamforming) over the input SINR (at the reference microphone). equal to the SINR improvement. 20

21 Simulation I: anechoic environment four microphones and an inter-microphone distance of 2.5 cm. Simulation II: reverberant environment. Room size = 5x4x6m The A(w) vector is computed using: 21
