前后混响零点约束下基于时反算子分解的信混比增强方法研究

结合时反算子分解和时反混响置零方法,提出了一种前后混响零点约束下基于时反算子分解的信混比增强新方法。利用目标回波出现时刻及其出现前后时刻的回波信号,通过时反算子分解获得目标距离对应的一个二维信号子空间和目标前后距离附近的海底聚焦权向量,根据该信号子空间和海底聚焦权向量,以目标前后距离附近的海底声场置零、目标处最大为约束条件,导出了时反阵的一个约束最优激励权向量。该方法解决了现有直接时反处理、混响置零方法以及时反选择性聚焦方法存在的局限性,可以在没有探测声源、没有目标和海底散射强度谁大谁小的先验知识的条件下,实现声场在目标处聚焦,同时在目标距离附近海底处设置混响凹槽,进一步增强回波信混比。针对典型浅海波导环境,通过计算机仿真验证了所提方法的有效性及其改进的信混比增强能力。

Echo-to-reverberation enhancement based on decomposition of time reversal operator with forward and backward reverberation nulling constrains

Combined the decomposition of time reversal operator and the time reversal reverberation nulling, a new time reversal processing approach for echo-to-reverberation ratio enhancement is proposed. In this method, a 2-dimensional signal subspace for the range of the target and two bottom focusing weight vectors for the ranges near the target are obtained by the decomposition of time reversal operator. From the signal subspace and focusing weight vectors, a constrained optimal excitation weight vector of source receiver array can be deduced to null the acoustic energy on the corresponding bottom and maximize the energy at the target. This method remedies the shortages of conventional time reversal processing, time reversal reverberation nulling and time reversal selective focusing method. It focuses sound energy at the target and nulls the energy at the bottom beside the target range simultaneously, therefore enhancing the echo-to-reverberation ratio, in the condition of no probe source and no prior-knowledge of the target and the bottom relative scatter intensity. Numerical simulations in typical shallow water environments showed the availability of the proposed method and its improved performance for echo-reverberation enhancement than conventional time reversal processing.
