快速收敛最小方差无畸变响应算法研究及应用

常规最小方差无畸变响应(MVDR)自适应波束形成是一种高分辨窄带波束形成器,它是利用实际声场的窄带互谱密度矩阵(CSDM)估计出自适应波束形成权向量。在实际应用中,MVDR算法需要较长的观测时间估计协方差矩阵,不利于对高速运动目标进行定位;对于宽带目标信号,MVDR算法需要对每一个CSDM进行求逆运算,计算量较大;在相干源条件下,目标信号之间会发生"对消"现象,MVDR算法性能急剧恶化。本文提出了基于子带子阵处理的快速收敛MVDR自适应波束形成方法。首先将全频带划分成一组子带,将接收线阵划分成一组子阵,然后对每一子带计算降维的驾驶协方差矩阵(STCM),从而得到快速收敛MVDR自适应波束形成的权值和空间谱估计结果。同时采用双向空间平滑方法对相干源进行MVDR空间谱估计。仿真和海试数据处理结果表明该算法在保证高分辨力的同时,具有瞬时收敛的性能,双向空间平滑技术具有良好的解相干性能。

基于稀疏信号重构的阵元位置误差校正方法

阵元位置误差的存在会严重影响水听器阵列的测向性能,为此在使用阵列之前需对该误差进行校正。针对这一需求,提出了一种对任意阵型适用的高精度阵元位置有源校正方法。结合远场阵列模型以及位置误差"有界"的特点,基于压缩感知理论,将阵元位置估计转化为对稀疏信号的重构过程,建立了阵元位置误差模型,构造了该模型下凸优化函数,并采用l₁-SVD(Singular Value Decomposition,SVD)方法进行求解,同时给出了物理解释和算法实施步骤。计算机仿真表明基于稀疏信号重构的校正方法性能明显高于子空间拟合算法,且性能接近相应克拉美罗下界,对于校正源方位误差有较强的容错能力,不受制于微小误差的假设以及初值的选取。该方法是一种可对阵列中的部分或全部阵元进行校正的高精度、稳健的有源校正算法。      

利用阵不变量的浅海宽带声源距离深度估计方法

现有阵不变量方法未能确定声源深度,且通常对远距离声源的测距误差较大。针对这一问题,提出一种利用阵不变量的宽带声源距离深度估计方法。该方法先对宽带接收信号进行频域波束形成和傅里叶逆变换，转换到波束-时间域以实现模态分离，波束-时间域各峰值位置的连线形成波束时间迁移曲线,曲线形状由阵不变量参数决定且与声源距离相关,曲线上能量分布由各阶模态激励决定且与声源深度有关;再沿波束时间迁移曲线提取波束时间强度并进行匹配处理,最终实现声源距离深度估计。SWellEx-96实验数据处理结果表明,本文所提方法的声源距离和深度估计平均相对误差分别为3.9%和3.4%,而常规阵不变量方法的平均相对测距误差为5.1%,验证了所提方法的优越性能。

阵形畸变条件下双线阵左右舷分辨性能分析

研究了双线阵在两种阵形畸变(轴向滑移和航向偏差)条件下的左右舷分辨性能,根据双线阵指向性函数的背瓣特性分析了阵形畸变对左右舷分辨性能的影响。理论分析表明,在无阵形畸变的理想阵形情况下,窄带信号的左右舷分辨能力取决于阵间距和信噪比,而对宽带信号,左右舷分辨能力不仅与阵间距和信噪比有关,而且还与接收信号的功率谱密度、处理频段有关。在阵形发生轴向滑移和航向不一致的情况下,在正横方向附近,左右舷分辨性能主要受双线阵的航向差影响,偏离正横方向,较大的轴向滑移会导致左右舷误判。     

Research on micro-optical lenses fabrication technology

We present a detail investigation on the development of a series of gradient index (GRIN) optical glass microlens and polymer microlens and microlens arrays in our laboratory in recent years. The special glass material GRIN lenses have been fabricated mainly by using ion-exchange technology, which are applied to construct micro-optic devices and other applications. On one hand, we demonstrated the light propagation and imaging properties of GRIN lenses and the results analyzed. On the other hand, we have explored a drop-on-demand ink-jet printing method to produce microlens array using nano-scale polymer droplets involved with a uniform ultraviolet light and heat solidifying process.

A novel opto-mechanical uncooled infrared detector

This paper presents a novel opto-mechanical uncooled infrared detector that has successfully been fabricated. The detector is composed of a bi-material micro-cantilever array released from the Si substrate, whose reflector retains its shape even with changes in temperature. In comparison with the generally used sacrificial layer cantilever, the loss of incident IR energy caused by the reflection from and absorption by the silicon substrate is eliminated in this substrate-free structure. Moreover, the freestanding structure of the detector makes it easy to fabricate. The revised reflector in this structure has no distortion during its activity that keeps the sensitivity of the detector from being passivated. We present an infrared (IR) image of a person’s hand to demonstrate the ability of the structure to create images. The performance test showed that the noise-equivalent temperature difference of the imaging system can reach about 175 mK.

Off-resonance correction using an estimated linear time map

Images acquired in the presence of magnetic field deviations and reconstructed without taking into account the off-resonance, are distorted and corrupted with artifacts. Several post-processing algorithms have been developed for correcting the distortion when it is not possible to fix the field inhomogeneities. These off-resonance correction methods are, in general, slow and computing intensive. To make them faster they are usually adapted to a particular situation or approximated. One of these approximations is to assume that the field map is linear. Although this assumption makes the algorithm fast and robust it is not well suited for arbitrary field maps. On the other hand, there are k-space trajectories with an almost linear time map (time at which each k-space value is acquired), such as 2DFT and EPI. This paper presents an algorithm for off-resonance correction based on a linear time map approximation. This approximation allows a fast algorithm that takes advantage of the almost linearity of the time map and uses the whole field map to correct the images. The proposed correction algorithm reduces the off-resonance induced artifacts while being fast. The linear approximation of the time map needs to be done only once for each trajectory because it does not depend on the acquired image or field map data. The method can also be extended to a multi-plane approximation for sequences with more complex time maps.     

Influence of the illumination coherency and illumination aperture on the ptychographic iterative microscopy

While ptychography is an algorithm based on coherent illumination,satisfactory reconstructions can still be generated in most experiments,even though the radiation sources that are used are not ideally coherent.The underlying physics of this phenomenon is that the diffraction patterns of partially coherent illumination can be treated as those of purely coherent illumination by altering the intensities of the diffracted beams relative to their real values.On the other hand,due to the inconsistency in the altering interference among all the diffraction beams,noise/distortion is always involved in the reconstructed images.Furthermore,for a weak object,the noise/distortion in the reconstruction can be mostly reduced by using a highly curved beam for illumination in the data recording and forcing the dark field diffraction to be zero in the reconstruction.
