In order to increase the capacity and to suppress co-channel interference in digital communication systems such as mobile cellular and mobile satellite communication systems, the employment of array beamforming techniques has been proposed. However, conventional beamforming methods are not suitable for such cases since these methods were mainly developed for signal detection and direction-of-arrival (DOA) estimation in radar and sonar. In this paper, utilizing the cyclostationary properties of communication signals, we propose three blind cyclic adaptive beamforming (CAB) algorithms and their fast implementation schemes. Several numerical examples are included. These results demonstrate that the CAB algorithms are good candidates for spatial reuse of frequency spectrum in digital mobile communication systems of the next generation.
