基于矢量传感器的水下双址接入研究

针对水声信道的特殊性,提出一种适用于水声通信的双址接入方法。旋转矢量传感器的组合指向性,使其零点对准某一信源,则该信源被屏蔽,此时信宿可以与另一信源进行通信,反之亦然。矢量传感器的空间指向性不随频率变化,该方法可以实现宽带双址异步通信。此外,当两信源之间的开角大于34.8°时,通过对矢量传感器声压和振速输出的联合处理,可以使分离出的不同信源所发射的信号获得一定的信噪比增益。理论分析、数值仿真和湖上实验结果表明:基于矢量传感器的双址通信算法实现简单,信道资源利用率高,可以与其它多址接入技术结合使用,并且矢量传感器的空间增益可以有效降低系统的误码率。由于水声信道的特殊性,水下信息网须采用多种多址接入技术,本文所提出的双址通信方案将是其它多址接入技术的有益补充。

A multilayered acoustic hyperlens with acoustic metamaterials

The acoustic hyperlens can be realized by an alternating layered structure of water and fluid with negative mass density. Based on this alternating layered principle, we propose that an acoustic metamaterial consisting of three layers in water background can be designed to replace the fluid with negative mass density. The effective mass density and bulk modulus of the system which is composed of acoustic metamaterial and water are functions of the frequency. The effective mass density of such a system is close to the negative mass density of the fluid at a specific frequency; thus an acoustic metamaterial hyperlens can be achieved.     

Bidirectional asymmetric acoustic focusing with two flat acoustic metasurfaces

We design an asymmetric transmission system(ATS)with two flat acoustic metasurfaces(AMs)to yield bidirectional asymmetric acoustic focusing(BAAF).The acoustic waves could be focused on both sides of the ATS with different focal lengths and intensities.To achieve high intensity energy concentration,the accelerating acoustic beams are selected to realize the BAAF.The working bandwidth of the BAAF based on our ATS could reach ～0.4 k Hz.It is found that by adjusting the distance between two flat AMs,the focal length and intensity of the bidirectional focusing could easily be modulated.Because the distance between two flat AMs is large enough,the BAAF even could be converted into a unidirectional acoustic focusing.The proposed BAAF may find applications in non-destructive evaluation,biomedical imaging and medical diagnosis.     

Numerical simulation of acoustic emission using acoustic contact elements

A new method is described for nonconformal finite-element simulation of the region of interaction between an acoustic fluid and deformed solid bodies. The method is based on the use of special contact finite elements simulating the interpolation coupling between the acoustic pressure in the fluid and displacements of a two-phase surface. The test results of the method demonstrate a significant acceleration of grid convergence of computations. The numerical method is verified by the problem of predicting noise emission by a thin-wall inhomogeneous shell.     

Flat acoustic lens by acoustic grating with curled slits

We design a flat sub-wavelength lens that can focus acoustic wave. We analytically study the transmission through an acoustic grating with curled slits, which can serve as a material with tunable impedance and refractive index for acoustic waves. The effective parameters rely on the geometry of the slits and are independent of frequency. A flat acoustic focusing lens by such acoustic grating with gradient effective refractive index is designed. The focusing effect is clearly observed in simulations and well predicted by the theory. We demonstrate that despite the large impedance mismatch between the acoustic lens and the matrix, the intensity at the focal point is still high due to Fabry–Perot resonance.     

Visualization of acoustic wavefronts by means of acoustic stroboscopy

The amplitude and phase distributions of a progressive acoustic wave are visualized simultaneously by means of acoustic stroboscopy. Two methods are described: (i) modulation of a laser beam by a progressive acoustic wave; (ii) modulation by a stationary wave. Spatial filtering of diffracted orders enables the progressive wavefronts to be seen as if they were stationary.     

Scanning acoustic Doppler microscopy and scanning acoustic correlation microscopy

Acoustic microscopy with vector contrast at 100 MHz in a fluid with immersed particles is used to detect the flow profile in front of a microscopic orifice. The velocity profile concerning the component in axial direction of the focused beam is derived from the phase contrast. Possibilities to resolve the flow profile also for the components in normal direction with respect to the axis are demonstrated. The methods concerning measurement techniques and data evaluation for scanning acoustic Doppler microscopy are presented. For scanning acoustic correlation microscopy the time dependent phase and amplitude signals resulting from sound waves scattered by the immersed particles (aluminium flakes with a typical diameter of 10 microm) have been analysed by correlation procedures. From the obtained autocorrelation functions the velocity distribution can be derived. Both methods can be applied simultaneously. Data analysis is based on the information contained in the originally obtained images in vector contrast derived from temporal and spatial resolved analogue and digital processing of the acoustic signals.

A theoretical analysis of acoustic microscopy with converging acoustic beams

A theoretical analysis is carried out to synthesize acoustic material signatures (AMS) of solid plates immersed in water. The distinctive feature of this analysis is that it avoids three major simplifying assumptions of the presently available techniques, which are, paraxial approximation, assumption of perfect reflection and Gaussian summation of the incident field. Presently available techniques can avoid some but not all of these simplifying assumptions for computing the AMS. In this paper the analysis is carried out for lowfrequency acoustic waves generated by a cylindrical transducer without a lens rod. Reasons for these changes in the conventional acoustic microscope geometry is given. The AMS is synthesized for an aluminium plate in presence as well as in absence of water on its one side. As expected a significant difference is observed between the signatures generated under these two situations.     

Real-time near-field acoustic holography for continuously visualizing nonstationary acoustic fields

Near-field acoustic holography (NAH) is an effective tool for visualizing acoustic sources from pressure measurements made in the near-field of sources using a microphone array. The method involving the Fourier transform and some processing in the frequency-wavenumber domain is suitable for the study of stationary acoustic sources, providing an image of the spatial acoustic field for one frequency. When the behavior of acoustic sources fluctuates in time, NAH may not be used. Unlike time domain holography or transient method, the method proposed in the paper needs no transformation in the frequency domain or any assumption about local stationary properties. It is based on a time formulation of forward sound prediction or backward sound radiation in the time-wavenumber domain. The propagation is described by an analytic impulse response used to define a digital filter. The implementation of one filter in forward propagation and its inverse to recover the acoustic field on the source plane implies by simulations that real-time NAH is viable. Since a numerical filter is used rather than a Fourier transform of the time-signal, the emission on a point of the source may be rebuilt continuously and used for other post-processing applications.
