Abstract: The minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR), originally developed by Capon for frequency-wavenumber analysis, is a very well established method in array processing. It is also used in spectral estimation. The aim of this paper is to show how the MVDR method can be used to estimate the magnitude squared coherence (MSC) function, which is very useful in so many applications but so few methods exist to estimate it. Simulations show that our algorithm gives much more reliable results than the one based on the popular Welch's method.
