The existing vector weighted robust beamforming is able to estimate the signal power of target only in
situations of a small steering angle error. For a larger steering angle error case, although the matrix weighted
beamforming can effectively estimate the signal power of the target as well, the system implementation is more
complicated than above mentioned vector weighted. In order to solve these problems, this paper presents a new
robust beamforming approach based on SemiDefinite rank Relaxation (SDR). Detailed description of the proposed
method are given as follows: the optimal model has the same objective as that of the Capon algorithm the
optimization variable is the covariance matrix of weight vector with constraints posed on the ripple of mainlobe
amplitude and sidelobe level, and the rank of covariance matrix is 1.
