Abstract
A particular computer-implemented method includes receiving sensed data from sensors of a sensor array, where data from each sensor is descriptive of waveform phenomena detected at the sensor. The method also includes determining an estimated spatial spectrum of the waveform phenomena based at least partially on the sensed data. The method further includes determining an estimated covariance matrix of the waveform phenomena based on the estimated spatial spectrum. The method includes determining adaptive beamforming weights using the estimated covariance matrix.
