To use commonly wideband linear array with tapped delay line （TDL） structure and complex weights, the FIB design is provided according to the rule of minimizing the sidelobe level of the beampattern at the reference frequency while keeping the distortionless response constraint in the mainlobe direction at the reference frequency, the norm constraint of the weight vector and the amplitude constraint of the averaged spatial response variation （SRV）. This kind of beamformer design problem can be solved with the interior-point method after being converted to the form of standard second order cone programming （SOCP）.
