In order to enhance the stability of the deconvolved conventional beamforming(D-CBF)algorithm,reduce background noise levels in the azimuth spectrum,and improve processing gain,a total variation constrained deconvolved CBF(TVD-CBF)spatial spectrum estimation algorithm is proposed.The approach leverages the sparse prior of the source distribution by incorporating a total variation regularization term as a nonlinear constraint within the cost function.Consequently,spatial resolution is improved while the accumulation of noise and errors is suppressed,thereby enhancing solution stability.Simulation results demonstrate that the TVD-CBF algorithm significantly outperforms the D-CBF algorithm in terms of azimuthal directivity and resolution,exhibiting surperior performance in direction of arrival estimation.The effectiveness of the TVD-CBF algorithm is further validated through experiments on sea trial data.
