Abstract
Configuring an adaptive microphone array to gather signals from a main lobe of the array, and configuring the array to reduce side interference gathered from sources that are not situated within the main lobe. A memory stores test signals gathered by the array in an anechoic chamber, a free-field environment, or other echo, interference and noise-minimized acoustic environment. Signals gathered in real time are processed to provide a preliminary output and preliminary weights. The test signals are retrieved from memory. The preliminary weights are applied to the test signals to provide equalizer weights. The equalizer weights and the preliminary output generate an equalized output that minimizes degradations resulting from side interference reduction.
