abstract = "Conventional beamforming (CBF) is one of the most important nodes in the underwater array signal processing. For the direction of arrival (DOA) estimation, CBF is robust but it suffers from the wide beamwidths and the high sidelobe levels. The background levels of bering-time recording (BTR) using CBF algorithm are high when the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the receiving data is low. This paper proposes a deconvolved conventional beamforming (ADDCBF) for suppressing the sidelobes levels of CBF in the DOA estimation. The algorithm utilizes an analogous impulse function as the point scattering function (PSF), and then the direction of the source can be estimated by iterating the azimuth spectrum of CBF based on the Richardson-Lucy (R-L) algorithm. ADDCBF yields the narrow beams and the low sidelobe levels than CBF. The performance of ADDCBF are verified by the numerical simulations and the data collected by a horizontal linear array during an experiment in the South China Sea.",
