The proposed phased array achieved an array directivity of 7.93dB with a half power bandwidth of 35.20º. The GSC and the phased array designed, when simulated, was able to achieve a SINR improvement of 9.72dB under strong noise levels and a 2.55dB SINR improvement under low level noise which were located spatially close to the desired source.enHearing aidsAdaptive BeamformingGeneralized Sidelobe Canceller (GSC)Phased arraySignal conditioningArticlehttps://doi.org/10.54389/WRMK4639
