Abstract

See full text

A method, apparatus, and manufacture for beamforming is provided. Parameters based on sets of pre-determined beamforming weights are stored. Each of the sets of pre-determined beamforming weights has a corresponding integral index number. Each input microphone signal is transformed to the frequency domain to provide a corresponding transformed signal. Each of the transformed signals includes a plurality of subbands. Next, an index number is determined representing an optimal set of beamforming weights for the transformed signals. Then, a set of beamforming weights is applied to each subband of each of the transformed signals to provide a weighted signal. The set corresponds to the determined index number. A time domain signal is then provided by combining each of the weighted signals.
