Capon method

The Capon method, also known as the Capon beamforming technique, is a signal processing approach used primarily in array systems, like radar or audio processing. It enhances signal quality by focusing on a specific direction while minimizing interference from other directions. Essentially, it intelligently adjusts the way signals from various sensors are combined, allowing clearer detection of sounds or signals coming from a particular source. This method is particularly effective in environments with noise or multiple sources, making it valuable in applications like sound localization, wireless communications, and sonar systems.
