text: The generalized sidelobe canceller by Griffith and Jim is a robust beamforming
method to enhance a desired (speech) signal in the presence of stationary noise.
Its performance depends to a high degree on the construction of the blocking matrix
which produces noise reference signals for the subsequent adaptive interference
canceller. Especially in reverberated environments the beamformer may suffer from
signal leakage and reduced noise suppression. In this paper a new blocking matrix
is proposed. It is based on a generalized eigenvalue problem whose solution provides
an indirect estimation of the transfer functions from the source to the sensors.
The quality of the new generalized eigenvector blocking matrix is studied in simulated
rooms with different reverberation times and is compared to alternatives proposed
in the literature.
