Described is system and method for blind beamforming using knowledge embedded in transmitted signals. Initial antenna weights are assigned for antenna elements of emitters of a beamforming system to generate a set of weighted radio-frequency (RF) signals at an output of each antenna element. The set of weighted RF signals are combined to form RF signal mixtures. Then, each RF signal mixture is processed to extract embedded information within signals of the emitters. The extracted embedded information is sent to an optimization module, where the extracted embedded information is used to perform simultaneous signal extractions for emitters in the beamforming system. Furthermore, feedback from the optimization module is used to modify antenna weights toward optimal beamforming.
