A novel adaptive beamforming technique is proposed for wireless communication application based on the minimum bit error rate (MBER)criterion. It is shown that the MBER approach provides significant performance gain in terms of smaller bit error rate (BER) over the standard minimum mean square error (MMSE) approach. Using the classical Parzen window estimate of probability density function (p.d.f.), both the block-data and sample-by-sample adaptive implementations of the MBER solution are developed.
