Localization of sources on a ship hull using combined receiver and high-resolution spectral analysis

The fundamental possibility of application of a single combined receiving system based on a three-component vector receiver for solution of problems of estimation of direction and localization of individual sources on a ship hull, source membership selection, and more reliable estimation of source signal levels is demonstrated. It is proposed to use high-frequency resolution methods of sonographic analysis (spectral-time representation) of projections of the acoustic power flux vector for spatial resolution of sources that provide a higher signal-to-noise level at the output of the processing system.     

The frequency noise and spectral linewidth in semiconductor ring lasers

Numerical analyses for power spectral density of frequency noise (FN) and spectral linewidth in monolithic semiconductor ring laser (SRL) operating in the bistable unidirectional regime are performed in this paper. The Langevin noise sources for electric field and carrier density fluctuations are also taken into account in the frequency-domain theoretical model. The influences of several important physical parameters on the FN properties and laser linewidth are clearly demonstrated, including the injection current, linewidth enhancement factor and the particular backscattering coefficient. Due to the particular backscattering in SRLs, the calculated linewidths are relatively higher than that from the conventional Henry formula. The laser linewidth shows an exponential relationship with the backscattering strength.     

Theoretical analysis of the ship noise demodulation spectrum harmonic clan feature

The structure law of the ship noise demodulation spectrum harmonic clan feature and corresponding applications to the recognition problem are studied by theoretical derivation and sample analysis.In order to recognize the propeller blade-number,the ship propeller cavitation noise model is established on the basis of five hypotheses.Further,the mathematical expressions of the structure law are deduced by the model.And the class space of the propeller blade-number is analysed mathematically.The results can be applied to target recognition as expert knowledge.Finally,the demodulation spectrum harmonic clans of experiment samples are obtained by using the wavelet packet.The structure law is validated by the statistic analysis of experiment samples.It is shown that the statistical average results of experiment samples are consistent very well with the theory structure law,and 78.6% of the samples basically accord with the theory structure law.

舰船辐射噪声线谱的幅度起伏模型

本文讨论在海中传播的舰船辐射噪声线谱和海洋环境噪声的幅度起伏模型。当线谱信号模型取正弦波加窄带高斯噪声时,窄带检测系统的输出起伏满足2 BT个自由度的非中心卡埃平方分布,起伏方差为声源特性和传播过程造成的起伏方差与处理器引起的方差之和;而海洋环境噪声采用平稳的白色高斯噪声模型时,通过窄带处理系统后的输出起伏满足2 BT个自由度的卡埃平方分布,方差仅由处理器决定。最后给出相应的实验结果,与理论计算符合良好。     

Linewidth of a quantum-cascade laser assessed from its frequency noise spectrum and impact of the current driver

We report on the measurement of the frequency noise properties of a 4.6-??m distributed-feedback quantum-cascade laser (QCL) operating in continuous wave near room temperature using a spectroscopic set-up. The flank of the R(14) ro-vibrational absorption line of carbon monoxide at 2196.6?cm^?1 is used to convert the frequency fluctuations of the laser into intensity fluctuations that are spectrally analyzed. We evaluate the influence of the laser driver on the observed QCL frequency noise and show how only a low-noise driver with a current noise density below ${\approx} 1~\mbox{nA/}\sqrt{}\mbox{Hz}$ allows observing the frequency noise of the laser itself, without any degradation induced by the current source. We also show how the laser FWHM linewidth, extracted from the frequency noise spectrum using a simple formula, can be drastically broadened at a rate of ${\approx} 1.6~\mbox{MHz/}(\mbox{nA/}\sqrt{}\mbox{Hz})$ for higher current noise densities of the driver. The current noise of commercial QCL drivers can reach several $\mbox{nA/}\sqrt{}\mbox{Hz}$ , leading to a broadening of the linewidth of our QCL of up to several megahertz. To remedy this limitation, we present a low-noise QCL driver with only $350~\mbox{pA/}\sqrt{}\mbox{Hz}$ current noise, which is suitable to observe the ??550?kHz linewidth of our QCL.

Effect of spectral frequency range and separation on the perception of asynchronous speech

The use of across-frequency timing cues and the effect of disrupting these cues were examined across the frequency spectrum by introducing between-band asynchronies to pairs of narrowband temporal speech patterns. Sentence intelligibility by normal-hearing listeners fell when as little as 12.5 ms of asynchrony was introduced and was reduced to floor values by 100 ms. Disruptions to across-frequency timing had similar effects in the low-, mid-, and high-frequency regions, but band pairs having wider frequency separation were less disrupted by small amounts of asynchrony. In experiment 2, it was found that the disruptive influence of asynchrony on adjacent band pairs did not result from disruptions to the complex patterns present in overlapping excitation. The results of experiment 3 suggest that the processing of speech patterns may take place using mechanisms having different sensitivities to exact timing, similar to the dual mechanisms proposed for within- and across-channel gap detection. Preservation of relative timing can be critical to intelligibility. While the use of across-frequency timing cues appears similar across the spectrum, it may differ based on frequency separation. This difference appears to involve a greater reliance on exact timing during the processing of speech energy at proximate frequencies.
