International audienceProbabilistic regularization (PR) is introduced to make superdirective array beamforming robust against sensor characteristic mismatches. The objective is to enlarge the directivity while ensuring robustness with high probability. The PR problem is solved via the second-order cone (SOC) programming where the regularization parameter is chosen through a statistical analysis of the system perturbations, based on Monte Carlo simulations. Experiments are carried out on a miniaturized 3-by-3 uniform rectangular array without calibration. The results show that for this particular array, the PR method is robust to sensor mismatches and achieves a higher level of directivity compared with other robust adaptive beamforming approaches
