Power spectral density estimation is often employed as a method for signal detection. For signals which occur randomly, a frequency domain kurtosis estimate supplements the power spectral density estimate and, in some cases, can be employed to detect their presence. This has been verified from experiments with real data of randomly occurring signals. In order to better understand the detection of randomly occurring signals, sinusoidal and narrow-band Gaussian signals are considered, which when modeled to represent a fading or multipath environment, are received as non-Ganssian in terms of a frequency domain kurtosis estimate. Several fading and muitipath propagation probability density distributions of practical interest are considered, including Rayleigh and log-normal. The model is generalized to handle transient and frequency modulated signals by taking into account the probability of the signal being in a specific frequency range over the total data interval. It is shown that this model produces kurtosis values consistent with real data measurements. The ability of the power spectral density estimate and the frequency domain kurtosis estimate to detect randomly occurring signals, generated from the model, is compared using the deflection criterion. It is shown, for the cases considered, that over a large range of conditions, the power spectral density estimate is a better statistic based on the deflection criterion. However, there is a small range of conditions over which it appears that the frequency domain kurtosis estimate has an advantage. The real data that initiated this analytical investigation are also presented. 相似文献

This paper presents an evaluation of second, third, and fourth-order moments for the passive detection of transient signals in both simulated Gaussian noise and measured noise. The measured noise was recorded by a vertical array located near the San Diego, CA, harbor and is dominated at low frequencies by ship-generated noise. The detectors assume neither noise nor signal stationarity and can use single or multiple channels of data. Simulation results indicate that the fourth-order moment detector often performs better than the energy detector in the correlated measured noise, with increasing channel contributions to the moment function, resulting in increased gain. The results in simulated Gaussian noise likewise favor the fourth-order moment detector, at least for the signals with significant fourth-order moments, but the ability of the higher order detector to discriminate against correlated noise is evident. Analysis over a 30-min segment of the measured noise with selected signals demonstrates that fourth-order detection gains can be reliably expected as the noise statistics change. 相似文献

The detection of known and partially known signals in additive white Gaussian uonstationary noise is considered, with primary attention to the ease where the time-varying noise intensity parameter N_{o}(t) is a periodic function. Optimum receiver structures are derived for three detection cases, namely completely known signals, sinusoids with random phase, and sinusoids with both random amplitude and phase. It is demonstrated that optimum receiver performance can be achieved only if proper synchronization to the noise intensity N_{o}(t) is accomplished. Large performance penalties can be demonstrated when an improperly synchronized receiver is used. Consequently, suboptimum receivers that ignore the noise intensity time variations and therefore require no synchronization, have been considered, and their performance compared to their optimum counterparts. Depending on the type of time-varying noise intensity being considered, results show that performance differences between optimum and suboptimum receivers can be negligible in some cases, and yet can be substantial in other cases. Several examples have been worked out using two different forms for N_{o}(t) and corresponding performance evaluations have been carried out and presented graphically in terms of receiver error probability as a function of signal-to-noise ratio. 相似文献

An operational passive sonar is required to detect signals from sources, which are subject to spatial and temporal coherence losses via modifications by the ocean environment. Furthermore, these signals are to be detected in the presence of frequency-dependent correlated noise fields. For a system which employs splitbeam cross-correlation processing, the spatial and spectral properties of the signal and noise are of significant import. Therefore, the exact probability density and cumulative distribution functions of the N-sampled correlator outputs of a splitbeam broadband passive sonar are derived for the case of Gaussian inputs which are described by arbitrary cross-spectral density matrices. The validity of approximating the exact probability density function (pdf) as a Gaussian distribution is investigated. The effect of signal coherence loss and noise correlation on the detection performance is considered and the associated processing loss is expressed as a degradation factor within the detection threshold equation 相似文献

A frequency-domain cumulant spectral analysis method is developed in this study to estimate the higher-order statistics of the linear oscillator responses driven by Morison wave force. The fourth-order cumulant function of the nonlinear drag force is formulated in terms of the autocorrelation functions of water particle velocity. Price's theorem is applied to evaluate the associated higher-order joint moments. Three-dimensional Fourier Transforms are employed to obtain the trispectra of Morison force and oscillator responses. The estimated force and response kurtosis are in good agreement with those obtained from time-domain simulations; while the proposed method is found to be much more efficient. The numerical results also show that the drag force cubicization based on the least square approximation results in an overestimation of the kurtosis values; in addition, it is necessary to include the joint moments of order higher than eighth. 相似文献

In an active sonar system setting, a novel method is evaluated that extracts range and Doppler information from a Doppler-spread active sonar echo. The Doppler spreading is based on H. Van Trees' (1971) Gaussian amplitude modulating model, and the new method is based on the Fourier transform of a special case of the fourth-order cumulant. Specifically, from the envelope of the Gaussian amplitude modulated echo of a transmitted coded pulse train, the second-order spectrum and the Fourier transform of a special case of the fourth-order cumulant are derived and analyzed for this ability to extract range and Doppler information. It is shown that the method can theoretically extract range and Doppler information without degradation. The reason for this result is that a special case of the fourth-order cumulant is independent of the covariance of the Gaussian amplitude modulating function. These methods are also simulated and compared with the simulated results of the range-Doppler ambiguity function. This shows that the ambiguity function and the second-order spectrum are degraded due to the Gaussian amplitude modulation. The results are further demonstrated by simulating the three range-Doppler extraction methods for the received echo in noise 相似文献

This research examines methods for detecting unknown transient waveforms that are contaminated by noise. The sensitivity of the performance levels of the energy detector and the lack of knowledge about the structure of the transient waveform motivate the examination of other moment- or spectra-based detection techniques. We examine the performance of a bispectral energy detector and show that its performance will degrade if the bispectra is smoothed and that signals with no bispectral content can be detected if the bispectra is not smoothed. Further, it is shown that the performance levels of the bispectral detector are slightly better, and slightly less sensitive, than those of the energy detector for the multipath linear frequency modulated signal. Finally, the performance levels of narrowband implementations of the energy and bispectral energy detectors are compared. It is shown that for a large enough sample, the performance levels of the bispectral detector are nearly as good as those of the optimal energy detector for the single narrowband signal case. However, when the received waveform contains multiple narrowband components, the narrowband bispectral detector performs slightly better than the energy detector 相似文献

The present study considers the prediction of extreme values of the second-order hydrodynamic parameters related to offshore structures in waves, where the application of Gaussian distribution is not valid. Particularly, this study focuses on a characteristic function approach in the frequency domain to estimate the probability distribution of the second-order quantities, and the results are compared with direct simulations in the time domain. The stochastic behaviors of the second-order hydrodynamic quantities are investigated with the characteristic function approach, which involves eigenvalue analyses of Hermitian kernels constructed with quadratic transfer functions. Three different second-order responses are considered: the springing responses of TLP tendons representative of the sum-frequency problem, the slow-drift motions of a semi-submersible platform moored in waves as a representative of the difference-frequency problem, and the wave run-up around a vertical column for regular and irregular waves. The applicability of the present approach in predicting extreme values is assessed by comparing the results with the values obtained from time-domain signals. 相似文献

Detailed laboratory measurements were made of the instantaneous free surface elevation in front of a fixed deck and the instantaneous free surface elevation, velocity, and overtopping rate at the leading edge of the deck. The study showed that the exceedance probabilities for the normalized maximum instantaneous overtopping rate and the normalized overtopping volume were predicted by a simple exponential curve. The measured exceedance probability seaward of the deck compared well with the nonlinear theory of Kriebel and Dawson (Kriebel D.L., Dawson T.H., 1993. Nonlinearity in wave crest statistics. In: Proceedings Ocean Wave Measurement and Analysis. American Society of Civil Engineers, pp. 61–75). Conditional sampling of the crest heights seaward of the deck gave a normalized probability distribution similar to that of the maximum water level measured on the deck for each overtopping event. However, the values used to normalize each distribution were not the same. 相似文献

It is well established that the modulational instability enhances the probability of occurrence for extreme events in long crested wave fields. Recent studies, however, have shown that the coexistence of directional wave components can reduce the effects related to the modulational instability. Here, numerical simulations of the Euler equations are used to investigate whether the modulational instability may produce significant deviations from second-order statistical properties of surface gravity waves when short crestness (i.e., directionality) is accounted for. The case of a broad-banded directional wave field (i.e. wind sea) is investigated. The analysis is concentrated on the wave crest and trough distribution. For completeness a comparison with a unidirectional wave field is presented also. Results will show that the distributions based on second-order theory provide a good estimate for the simulated crest and trough height also at low probability levels. 相似文献

A role of passive sonar signal processing is the detection and estimation of the parameters associated with amplitude modulated broad-band signals. An example of such signals is propeller noise. Discrete frequency lines occur at the rotational frequency of the propulsion shaft and at the blade frequency. This correspondence provides expressions for the Cramer-Rao lower bounds for the estimates of broad-band signal power, modulation level, modulation frequency, and modulation phase. It is shown that for low broad-band-signal-to-broad-band-noise ratios, the estimates of power and modulation level are uncoupled from the estimates of modulation frequency and phase 相似文献

A new method for estimating directions-of-arrival (DOA) of multiple spatial narrowband signals in the presence of spatially nonuniform independent sensor noise with unknown covariance is presented. An estimate of the colored noise-covariance matrix is given first. The received data for parameter estimation is then prewhitened using the estimated noise covariance, hence, overcoming the highly biased estimates. Furthermore, the performance improvement of standard MUSIC method is confirmed by computer simulations. 相似文献

Oceanic noise is the background interference in sonar performance prediction and evaluation at high sea states. Statistics of underwater ambient noise during Typhoons Soulik and Nida were analyzed on the basis of experimental measurements conducted in a deep area of the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea. Generated linear regression, frequency correlation matrix (FCM), Burr distribution and Gumbel distribution were described for the analysis of correlation with environmental parameters including wind speed (WS), significant wave height (SWH), and the inter-frequency relationship and probability density function of noise levels (NLs). When the typhoons were quite close to the receivers, the increment of NLs exceeded 10 dB. Whilst ambient noise was completely dominated by wind agitation, NLs were proportional to the cubic and quintic functions of WS and SWH, respectively. The fitted results between NLs and oceanic parameters were different for “before typhoon” and “after typhoon”. The fitted slopes of linear regression showed a linear relationship with the logarithm of frequency. The average observed typhoon-generated NLs were 5 dB lower than the Wenz curve at the same wind force due to the insufficiently developed sea state or the delay between NLs and WS. The cross-correlation coefficient of FCM, which can be utilized in the identification of noise sources in different bands, exceeded 0.8 at frequencies higher than 250 Hz. Furthermore, standard deviation increased with frequency. The kurtosis was equal to 3 at >400 Hz approximately. The characteristics of NLs showed good agreement with the results of FCM. 相似文献

Hard limiting or sign detection schemes for low-pass known and random signals in additive noise are popular as very simple signal detectors maintaining constant values for their false-alarm probabilities under the rather weak assumption that the sampled noise observations have zero median values. For nonparametric detection of narrow-band signals the natural extension of the zero medians assumption is the zero marginal medians assumption on the in-phase and quadrature noise components. Nonparametric detectors operating under this assumption are developed here for narrow-baud signals; these can be taken to be the logical counterparts of the low-pass sign correlator and polarity coincidence correlator detectors of low-pass theory. The concept of conditional testing, which has been applied previously to obtain efficient multilevel versions of low-pass sign detection schemes, is shown to enter quite naturally in the definition of narrow-band counterparts of the sign correlator and the polarity coincidence correlator detectors. It is also shown that under the diagonal symmetry extension of the low-pass univariate symmetry condition on the noise probability density function, multilevel extensions of these conditional test narrow-hand detectors may also be defined as counterparts of the multilevel conditional test schemes for low-pass signals. 相似文献

The measurement of the signal to noise ratio in continuous seismic profiling systems is carried out by means of a small general purpose digital computer equipped with an analog to digital converter. The computer is programmed to compute and compare the power spectrum of a sample of noise to the power spectrum of a sample of noise plus an echo. Power spectra of some twenty to fifty shots are averaged to yield reliable estimates of the signal to noise ratio as a function of frequency. The observed spectra agree well with spectra calculated from signals measured near to an air-gun. This measurement of signal to noise ratio as a function of frequency provides unambiguous information for the adjustment of the necessary band-pass filter thus improving the operation of a continuous seismic profiler. 相似文献

We seek to determine if a small number of measurements of upper ocean temperature and currents can be used to make estimates
of the drag coefficient that have a smaller range of uncertainty than previously found. We adopt a numerical approach using
forward models of the ocean’s response to a tropical cyclone, whereby the probability density function of drag coefficient
values as a function of wind speed that results from adding realistic levels of noise to the simulated ocean response variables
is sought. Allowing the drag coefficient two parameters of freedom, namely the values at 35 and at 45 m/s, we found that the
uncertainty in the optimal value is about 20% for levels of instrument noise up to 1 K for a misfit function based on temperature,
or 1.0 m/s for a misfit function based on 15 m velocity components. This is within tolerable limits considering the spread
of measurement-based drag coefficient estimates. The results are robust for several different instrument arrays; the noise
levels do not decrease by much for arrays with more than 40 sensors when the sensor positions are random. Our results suggest
that for an ideal case, having a small number of sensors (20–40) in a data assimilation problem would provide sufficient accuracy
in the estimated drag coefficient. 相似文献

Additive as well as multiplicative noise may occur when acoustic waves propagate through the ocean. Second-order spectral methods fail to retrieve frequencies of such random amplitude modulated harmonic time series, especially when the multiplicative noise is broadband. An existing fourth-order method assumes real Gaussian multiplicative and additive noise. A novel approach is proved herein to impose no constraints on the distribution or the color of the disturbances. It relies on fourth-order special cumulant or moment slices. In particular, the fourth-order moment spectrum is shown to offer computational advantages. Extension to multicomponent models and generalizations to alternative higher order moments are also provided. Simulations corroborate the theoretical results 相似文献
