Decorrelation Coherent Sources- Spatial Smoothing • R is spatially smoothed correlation matrix • RK-sub array correlation matrix • p is number of sub arrays • Ms is number of sensors of sub array • Spatially smoothed R matrix becomes non singular when the number of sub arrays is greater than the number of coherent sources • Coherent sources are effectively decorrelated • Spatial response nulls in both Coherent and non-coherent interference
