利用宽带引导声源重构拷贝声场的目标声源定位

为了避开传统的匹配场目标定位技术对环境先验知识的依赖性,提出了在均匀浅海环境中只知道少量环境参数的情况下,利用垂直接收阵和不同距离上的两枚宽带引导声源重构声场对目标声源进行定位的一种方法。这种方法主要基于简正波估计和声场重构两种关键技术,同时省去了匹配场定位技术中大量的拷贝声场计算。数值仿真主要采用线性Bartlett匹配处理器分析了目标定位效果,在信噪比高于10 d B的情况下,定位效果良好。     

不同频段下利用虚拟接收方法的声源测距性能分析

考虑到传统的匹配场处理定位需要复杂的匹配声场计算,并对环境参数和声场模型有很高的依赖,为了克服这种缺点,采用虚拟接收方法对声源进行测距。首先对垂直阵接收到的引导声源和目标声源的信号进行相关处理,得到虚拟接收声场并估计虚拟接收声场干涉条纹的斜率,结合波导不变特征量β对目标声源进行测距。通过数值仿真和2004年南海实验数据处理,讨论了浅海斜坡海域环境中不同频段下利用虚拟接收方法对宽带声源测距的性能。随着频率升高,需要展宽频带以获得完整的干涉条纹和良好的测距结果。在实验数据处理中,选取频段较高的信号时,由于阵列间距偏大不能保证采样的简正波模式的正交归一特性,不能获得正确的测距结果。     

声速剖面对不同深度声源定位的影响

在对一次试验数据进行匹配场定位处理时发现, 选取声速剖面有轻微失配的情形下, 水面弱声源显现, 水下强声源反而消失. 基于该现象研究了声速剖面失配对不同深度声源定位的影响. 首先通过仿真试验排除海上试验中不确定因素的影响, 进一步得出深处声源定位受声速剖面失配影响较大的结论, 并针对夏季负跃层情形进行跃层深度失配的仿真, 初步得出在跃层下边界以下10 m附近处的声源对声速剖面失配最敏感. 最后从简正波的角度进行理论分析, 分两点对这一现象进行了合理解释.     

非完整阵列接收下的虚拟接收目标定位技术

在浅海近似绝热环境中,利用虚拟接收方法对声源测距的目标定位方法相比于传统的匹配场定位方法可以避免对环境参数和声场模型的依赖,同时省去生成拷贝场时的大量计算·利用虚拟接收方法对声源测距主要是通过估计虚拟声场干涉条纹的斜率进行定位,而非完整阵列接收相当于引入了干扰项,破坏了虚拟声场干涉结构。引入了一种基于图像Hessian矩阵特征值分析的多尺度线性滤波器,通过数值模拟和实验数据处理,结果表明,该滤波器可以有效地增强干涉结构、检测和提取干涉图案中的条纹信息,提高非完整阵列接收条件下的虚拟接收目标定位技术的测距性能。     

水下目标被动测距的一种新方法:利用波导不变量提取目标距离信息

水声学中波导不变量的研究是近30年来引人注目的课题之一。水下目标辐射噪声的直达波和海面、海底反射波之间的干涉现象中隐含有下水目标的距离信息。提取这种距离信息就为水下目标的被动测距提供了一种新的途径。理论分析和实际海试都证明,甚至单水听器的LOFAR(Low Frequency Analysis Record)图都隐含着目标的距离和运动信息。本文给出利用波导不变量提取目标距离信息的理论推导,证明了在形成干涉条纹的外界条件具备时,利用多个水听器构成的基阵也能以较大增益提供目标距离信息。虽然组成基阵的每一水听器出现干涉条纹的条件是有差异的。这种差异在波束成形时可以加以利用和补偿。本文提出的理论和部分仿真、海试结果为水下目标被动测距和目标识别提供了一种新的途径。      

声强谱频移补偿的波导不变量和距离估计方法

基于声强的距离一频率干涉结构,利用对水平阵不同阵元信号的声强谱进行频移补偿的方法估计波导不变量和距离。在波导不变量和距离其中一项已知的情况下,可以通过该方法估计另外一项。利用2011年12月北黄海水声实验中拖曳声源发射和海底水平阵接收的线性调频信号,通过上述方法估计了不同距离处的波导不变量。结果显示波导不变量的估计值在0.8到1.2之间变化,其均值与利用实测海洋环境计算的理论值符合良好。同时,利用相同的信号和波导不变量的理论计算值,通过上述方法在不同时刻进行距离估计,结果与GPS测量距离基本一致。     

Performance analysis of source ranging by use of virtual receiver technique under different frequency bands

The traditional matched field processing localization need complicated computation to get the replica field and has high dependence on environment parameters and acoustic field model.To overcome the shortcoming,virtual receiver technique is used for source ranging.A virtual receiver is constructed by correlating the two signals of the guide source and the objective source received by a vertical line array.Then,the slope of the interference striation of the virtual field is estimated using relevant signal processing method.Combining with the waveguide invariant β,the range of the objective source is determined.Through the numerical simulations and data processing collected from the experiment carried out in the South China Sea in 2004,the virtual receiver technique for broadband source ranging under the slopebottom shallow water environment is discussed.As the frequency increases,the frequency bands should be broadened to obtain complete interference striation for good ranging results.In data processing,the receiving array spacing is too large to promise the orthogonality of the modes as the frequency increases and ranging results become worse.     

Propagation in an elastic wedge using the virtual source technique

The virtual source technique, which is based on the boundary integral method, provides the means to impose boundary conditions on arbitrarily shaped boundaries by replacing them by a collection of sources whose amplitudes are determined from the boundary conditions. In this paper the virtual source technique is used to model propagation of waves in a range-dependent ocean overlying an elastic bottom with arbitrarily shaped ocean-bottom interface. The method is applied to propagation in an elastic Pekeris waveguide, an acoustic wedge, and an elastic wedge. In the case of propagation in an elastic Pekeris waveguide, the results agree very well with those obtained from the wavenumber integral technique, as they do with the solution of the parabolic equation (PE) technique in the case of propagation in an acoustic wedge. The results for propagation in an elastic wedge qualitatively agree with those obtained from an elastic PE solution.     

LNA linearization solution for direct conversion receiver using under-sampling technique in reference receiver

The paper proposes a method for linearizing low noise amplifiers (LNAs) in multichannel direct conversion receivers. The proposed direct conversion receiver (DCR) uses a linear reference receiver to extract distortion information, which is then fed to an adaptive circuit for linearizing the main channel signal. The proposed DCR differs from prior LNA linearization techniques in that the reference channel in the proposed DCR uses analog to digital converter (ADC) with an undersampling technique to extract reference information. The low-speed ADC also serves as a downconverter, shifting radio frequency (RF) signal to baseband and allowing for all further linearization processing to be performed digitally at a low-sampling data rate. This significantly reduces cost, design complexity, and energy consumption. The effectiveness of the proposed design is theoretically verified through MATLAB simulation and practically measured for a 65 Mhz band of ultra-high frequency (UHF) DCR capable of simultaneously receiving four 16–QAM channels of the same bandwidth of 4 Mhz. The MATLAB software simulation results show that the proposed approach significantly improved the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) for the channel of interest by approximately 30 dB in the worst distorted channel. For hardware implementation, the distorted signals are sampled from a commercial LNA (ZFL–500LN+) by a customized FPGA board. Results from measurements show an improvement of 14.6% for error vector magnitude (EVM) in a strong distortion scenario of 16–QAM modulation signal.     

The use of the virtual source technique in computing scattering from periodic ocean surfaces

In this paper the virtual source technique is used to compute scattering of a plane wave from a periodic ocean surface. The virtual source technique is a method of imposing boundary conditions using virtual sources, with initially unknown complex amplitudes. These amplitudes are then determined by applying the boundary conditions. The fields due to these virtual sources are given by the environment Green's function. In principle, satisfying boundary conditions on an infinite surface requires an infinite number of sources. In this paper, the periodic nature of the surface is employed to populate a single period of the surface with virtual sources and m surface periods are added to obtain scattering from the entire surface. The use of an accelerated sum formula makes it possible to obtain a convergent sum with relatively small number of terms (～40). The accuracy of the technique is verified by comparing its results with those obtained using the integral equation technique.
