With Shannon sampling rates at the sensors of a linear antenna, it is not always possible to achieve a beam system with complete azimuth coverage. Furthermore, it is not possible to compensate an antenna system platform's own motion in such a way as to be able to build up a beam system fixed in space. Even the method of increasing the sampling rate for the sensors to an impracticably high value would only solve these problems to a limited extent. On the other hand, a solution which is easily put into practice is offered by time interpolation between adjacent sample points of the sensor signals. Therefore we have investigated this method in detail. The beam patterns are formed by special linear combination of the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the sensor signals. This kind of linear combination is applicable to all types of interpolation between adjacent sample points. For one special type of interpolation, namely linear interpolation, an azimuthal level-distribution function which specifies the maximum antenna reception sensitivity for all steering angles is stated for a linear antenna havingN sensors. With this function, it is possible to estimate the influence of the sampling frequency, Signal center frequency, signal bandwidth, and antenna dimensions on the antenna/beamformer performance. 相似文献

Atmospheric infrasonic signals were classified on the basis of data obtained in the United States (University of Alaska, Fairbanks) and in the Antarctic region (Windless Bight) from 1980 to 1983. The data archive included five classes of signals from different sources: explosions, mountain associated waves, microbaroms, volcanic infrasound, and auroral infrasonic waves. This classification was based on the theory of testing statistical hypotheses. The possibilities of separating these classes were studied. It was shown that the signals (from the archive used) that are characteristic of explosions and volcanic activity can be rather easily separated from those characteristic of mountain associated waves, microbaroms, and auroral infrasonic waves. 相似文献

A computer simulation is used to analyze errors in high-frequency (HF) radar ocean surface current measurements. Two pointing algorithms used for current extraction, a direction finding approach using MUltiple SIgnal Characterization (MUSIC) developed by Schmidt (1986), and conventional beam forming, are compared in terms of the effect of variations in sea state parameters on current measurement error. The radar system parameters used in the simulation were taken from the University of Michigan's multi-frequency coastal radar (MCR), which operates on four frequencies from 4.8 to 21.8 MHz and employs an eight-element linear phased array for its receive antenna. Results show MUSIC direction finding to be applicable to phased array systems and to have a better sensitivity to sharp current features, but larger random error than traditional beam forming methods. Also, for cases where beam forming errors are dominated by beam width or low signal to noise ratio, results show MUSIC to be a viable alternative to beam forming 相似文献

An adaptive frequency-domain signal-processing technique for finding principal direction and spectral amplitude as a function of frequency without conventional beam forming is described mathematically. The technique, called Coherent Adaptive Processing Scheme (CAPS), is applicable to signals typical of many ocean science measurements. Results of successful CAPS analysis of shallow-water acoustic signals are presented. Potential real-time applications of CAPS to sensor systems are discussed. References to past applications to ocean waves are given. 相似文献

The atmospheric effect on the characteristics of infrasonic signals from explosions has been studied. New methods have been proposed to remotely estimate the energy of explosions using the data of infrasonic wave registration. One method is based on the law of conservation of acoustic pulse I, which is equal to the product of the wave profile area S/2 of the studied infrasonic signal and the distance to the source EI [kt] = 1.38 × 10–10 (I [kg/s])1.482. The second method is based on the relationship between the explosion energy and the dominant period T of the recorded signal, EТ [kt] =1.02 × (Т [s]2/σ)3/2, where σ is a dimensionless distance used for determining the degree of manifestation of nonlinear effects in the propagation of sound along ray trajectories. When compared to the conventional EW (Whitaker’s) relation, the advantage of the EI relation is that it can be used for pulsed sources located at an arbitrary height over the land surface and having an arbitrary form of the initial-pulse profile and for any type of infrasonic arrivals. A distinctive feature of the expression for EТ is that the atmospheric effect on the characteristics of recorded infrasonic signals is explicitly taken into account. These methods have been tested using infrasonic data recorded at a distance of 322 km from the sources (30 explosions caused by a fire that occurred at the Pugachevo armory in Udmurtia on June 2, 2011). For the same explosion, empirical relations have been found between energy values obtained by different methods: EI = 1.107 × E W , E Т = 2.201 × E I . 相似文献

This paper presents a state-of-the-art approach to an important sonar signal-processing problem, A theoretical foundation for source oriented beam forming (SOBF) is presented. A distributed processing element is introduced, discussed, and offered as one solution to the at-sea platform implementation of high-powered digital signal processing such as SOBF. While many of the details of the implementation are beyond the scope or intent of this paper, they may be found in the references (those references not in the open literature are obtainable from the authors). 相似文献

We study the absorption of infrasonic waves when they are propagating in cloud media. In this case, the main mechanism of absorption is the relaxation processes associated with vapor-drop phase transitions caused by infrasonic waves. For frequencies comparable to the inverse relaxation time, the acoustic waves in a cloud medium were shown to have a noticeable dispersion. We derive an expression for the frequency-dependent effective adiabatic index linking the oscillations of pressure and density in the wave, the dispersion equation, and the expression for the absorption coefficient. For typical values of cloud parameters, the absorption coefficient was estimated to be around 0.1 km?1. We discuss observation data which indirectly confirm that clouds can considerably absorb infrasonic waves. 相似文献

A model of anisotropic fluctuations forming in wind velocity and air temperature in a stably stratified atmosphere is described. The formation mechanism of these fluctuations is associated with the cascade transport of energy from sources of atmospheric gravity waves to wave disturbances with shorter vertical scales (than the scales of the initial disturbances generated by the sources) and, at the same time, with longer horizontal scales. This model is used to take into account the effects of infrasonic-wave scattering from anisotropic inhomogeneities of the effective sound speed in the atmosphere. Experimental data on the stratospheric, mesospheric, and thermospheric arrivals of signals (generated by explosion sources such as surface explosions and volcanoes) in the zones of acoustic shadow are interpreted on the basis of the results of calculations of the scattered infrasonic field in the context of the parabolic equation. The signals calculated with consideration for the fine structure of wind velocity and air temperature are compared with the signals observed in a shadow zone. The possibility to acoustically sound this structure at heights of both the middle and upper atmospheres is discussed. 相似文献

The main effects accompanying the propagation of an initially narrow complex modulated light beam in sea water are studied. Sea water, with respect to modulation waves, is shown to be similar to a medium with frequency dispersion with respect to electromagnetic waves; in the medium, the effects of the time focusing of a wave packet are possible. Based on the self-similar small-angle solution to the equation of radiation transfer, we estimate spatial-temporal characteristics of pulse-signal amplitude modulated by a complex signal. We propose a scheme for constructing underwater LIDAR using a complex modulated illumination beam and the processing of a received echo signal. The processing allows the separation of the modulated component and its matched filtration. Values of possible delays and broadening of the separated echo signal caused by dispersion properties of sea water are estimated. 相似文献

Nonlinear effects manifested in infrasonic signals passing through different atmospheric heights and recorded in the region of a geometric shadow have been studied. The source of infrasound was a surface explosion equivalent to 20–70 t of TNT. The frequencies of the spectral maxima of infrasonic signals, which correspond to the reflections of acoustic pulses from atmospheric inhomogeneities at different heights within the stratosphere-mesosphere-lower thermosphere layer, were calculated using the nonlinear-theory method. A satisfactory agreement between experimental and calculated data was obtained. 相似文献

A method of extracting wave parameters from surface displacement measured from a moving platform is presented. The article first presents a method for accurately measuring surface displacement using a single beam altimeter and heave sensor. A least squares approach is presented to estimate wave parameters using vessel velocity and perceived wave frequency that eliminates Doppler due to vessel motion. Two techniques for estimating wave frequency are presented: a block data method using MUSIC and a real-time method using demodulation. Sea trial results demonstrate that this method is as effective as a WaveRider buoy for estimating wave parameters. 相似文献

An HF radar called the Coastal Ocean Dynamics Applications Radar (CODAR) is presently being used in several forms to measure ocean surface parameters. The original version was developed by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and utilizes a four-element receive array. The array consists of four equally spaced elements arranged on a circle with a radius of 0.2151 wavelengths (at 25.4 MHz). It was designed to measure ocean currents using a direction-finding technique based on an extension to a simple two-element interferometer. The problem of determining the bearing of a radiating source can be readily shown to be equivalent to that incurred in spectral estimation. In an attempt to improve upon the processing of existing data, modern nonlinear spectral estimation techniques are applied in a beam-forming bearing estimation procedure and compared against several direction-finding algorithms. Enhancement of bearing estimators via analysis of the eigenstructure of a spatial correlation matrix is included. Antenna response patterns are calculated and used to investigate properties of direction-finding algorithms. Simulated data are used for a comparison of direction finding and beam forming. The asymmetrical bias of each method is investigated to determine its effect on the error in estimating the angle of arrival of a radar target. 相似文献

This paper deals with the development of a processing technique that improves the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the single sensor for a received signal that is embedded in a partially correlated noise field. The approach of this study is unique in that the noise is treated as being non-white and partially correlated. The concept of the proposed development is based on the time interval over which the temporal coherence or correlation properties of a noise field are defined. For narrowband signals, the associated temporal coherence period is much longer than the correlation time interval of the anisotropic noise field. Thus, a coherent integration of discontinuous segments of received signals will enhance the SNR at the single sensor by lowering the correlation properties of the associated non-white noise. Reconstruction of the narrow-band signal time series, with improved SNR at the sensor will allow the use of the existing high resolution techniques to be utilized more effectively by lowering their threshold values in order to detect very weak signals. The intention here is to integrate the characteristics of the real anisotropic noise field during the preliminary processing stages of the received signals by an array of sensors. Simulations show that the proposed method can be integrated in the signal processing functionality of sonar and radar systems 相似文献

A short finite impulse response (FIR) filter architecture for narrowband beamforming is presented that is well suited for active sonar applications. By applying the technique of adaptive modeling, a short FIR filter can be designed to carry out any required narrowband constant phase shift. A 4-tap FIR filter designed in this way can generate constant phase shift within bandwidths of 0.04 (relative to the sampling frequency), with an error of less than 1°. Thus a beam can be formed with a bank of short FIR filters, each filter corresponding to one sensor. Due to the light computational load of this method, it is rather convenient for digital signal processors (DSP) to implement beamforming in real time. Satisfactory sonar beam patterns are shown to result from a TMS320C25-based emulation of the architecture 相似文献

High-frequency (HF) radars based on ground-wave propagation are used for remotely sensing ocean surface currents and gravity waves. For some 20 years a number of systems have been developed taking advantage of improved electronics and computer techniques. However, the performance of these systems are limited by physical constraints, which are due to HF wave propagation and scattering as well as to the technical design of the measuring system. Attenuation of the HF ground-wave is strongly dependent on the radio frequency and sea-water conductivity. Experimental data confirm the predicted decrease of propagation range with decreasing conductivity. HF radar systems use different methods of spatial resolution both in range and azimuth. Range resolution by means of short pulses and frequency-modulated chirps is compared, as well as azimuthal resolution by means of beam forming and direction finding (phase comparison). The emphasis is placed on recent developments. 相似文献
