Adaptive beamforming based on polarization-sensitive arrays enables joint spatial-polarization filtering for mainlobe interference suppression, but mainlobe distortion and performance degradation occur when the received data include the desired signal or multiple mainlobe interferences. Accordingly, this paper proposes a mainlobe interference suppression method based on Polarimetric Sparse Iterative Covariance-based Estimation (POL-SPICE) and covariance matrix reconstruction. This method utilizes the POL-SPICE algorithm to accurately estimate the direction of arrival (DOA), polarization, and power parameters. It reconstructs the covariance matrix by nulling the corresponding source power and constructs a feature projection matrix to preprocess the received signal. These eliminate the impact of the desired signal and mainlobe interference components on subsequent joint spatial-polarization domain beamforming, ultimately achieving interference suppression and mainlobe shape preservation. Simulation results illustrate that the proposed method is applicable to scenarios with the coexistence of the desired signal and multiple mainlobe interferences, and its superiority over existing methods is verified.
