The powerful support vector regression framework is proposed in a novel method for near-field focusing using antenna arrays. By using this machine-learning method, the set of weights required in the elements of an array can be calculated to achieve an assigned near-field distribution focused on one or more positions. The computational cost is concentrated in an initial training process so that the trained system is fast enough for applications where moving devices are involved. The increased learning capabilities of support vector machines allow using a reduced number of training samples. Thus, these training samples may be generated with a prototype or a convenient electromagnetic analysis tool, and hence realistic effects, such as coupling or the individual radiation patterns of the elements of the arrays, are accounted for. Illustrative examples are presented.

In this article, principal component analysis method, which is applied to image compression and feature extraction, is introduced into the dimension reduction of input characteristic variable of support vector regression, and a method of joint estimation of near-field angle and range based on principal component analysis dimension reduction is proposed. Signal-to-noise ratio and calculation amount are the decisive factors affecting the performance of the algorithm. Principal component analysis is used to fuse the main characteristics of training data and discard redundant information, the signal-to-noise ratio is improved, and the calculation amount is reduced accordingly. Similarly, support vector regression is used to model the signal, and the upper triangular elements of the signal covariance matrix are usually used as input features. Since the covariance matrix has more upper triangular elements, training it as a feature input will affect the training speed to some extent. Principal component analysis is used to reduce the dimensionality of the upper triangular element of the covariance matrix of the known signal, and it is used as the input feature of the multi-output support vector regression machine to construct the near-field parameter estimation model, and the parameter estimation of unknown signal is herein obtained. Simulation results show that this method has high estimation accuracy and training speed, and has strong adaptability at low signal-to-noise ratio, and the performance is better than that of the back-propagation neural network algorithm and the two-step multiple signal classification algorithm.

Support vector regression is used to establish a kind of patch near-field acoustic holography. The regression functions are constructed by treating the measured data on the patch holography as training samples, and then the data outside the measurement aperture are extrapolated. The experimental results show that the extrapolation of the sound pressure outside the smaller initial hologram aperture may be realized easily and effectively, and the reconstruction accuracy is satisfactory.

The direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation of an acoustic source can be estimated with a uniform linear array using classical techniques such as generalized cross-correlation, beamforming, subspace techniques, etc. However, these methods require a search in the angular space and also have a higher angular error at the end-fire. In this paper, we propose the use of regression techniques to improve the results of DoA estimation at all angles including the end-fire. The proposed methodology employs curve-fitting on the received multi-channel microphone signals, which when applied in tandem with support vector regression (SVR) provides a better estimation of DoA as compared to the conventional techniques and other polynomial regression techniques. A multilevel regression technique is also proposed, which further improves the estimation accuracy at the end-fire. This multilevel regression technique employs the use of linear regression over the results obtained from SVR. The techniques employed here yielded an overall 63% improvement over the classical generalized cross-correlation technique.
