Description

Transform domain beam forming method based on extended aperture sonar
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of underwater acoustic signal processing, and particularly relates to a transform domain beam forming method based on extended aperture sonar.
Background
In recent years, the multi-beam image sonar technology is widely applied to the fields of submarine topography mapping, petroleum pipeline detection and underwater target detection, and in order to acquire a high-definition sonar image, the distance resolution and the angle resolution of the sonar image need to be improved simultaneously.
In wideband signal systems, range resolution is typically determined by the effective bandwidth of the received signal, while angular resolution is typically determined by the effective aperture of the receive array and the received signal frequency. In practical applications, in a specific application field, changing a specific operating frequency range of the image sonar will cause the detection performance to be degraded, and therefore, the effective receiving array aperture of the sonar system is usually selected to be enlarged to improve the angular resolution.
In order to reduce the hardware cost of the transducer array without increasing the size of the array, virtual extended aperture sonar can be adopted to improve the angular resolution, the working principle is that different transmitting arrays transmit orthogonal waveforms, a receiving end separates transmitting signals through matched filtering, and then receiving and transmitting wave beam forming are carried out, so that the purpose of extending the actual receiving array aperture is achieved. However, in engineering applications, completely orthogonal signals do not exist, and high cross-correlation between the transmitted signals will cause the range to be raised to the side lobe, thereby reducing the range definition of the sonar image.

Detailed Description
The invention is described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:
the invention relates to a transform domain beam forming method based on extended aperture sonar, which reduces the range-direction definition of sonar images due to incomplete orthogonality of transmitting signals in a virtual extended aperture sonar system. The method comprises the steps of firstly, reasonably arranging transmitting array receiving arrays according to a virtual extended aperture theory, then, transmitting orthogonal waveforms by each transmitting array, receiving target echo signals superposed by a plurality of orthogonal waveforms by the receiving arrays, carrying out receiving array beam forming on a plurality of groups of orthogonal waveforms in a transform domain according to different characteristics of different orthogonal waveforms in the transform domain, respectively carrying out inverse transform domain transform, and finally carrying out transmitting array beam forming in a time domain. The method does not need to adopt matched filtering to separate orthogonal waveform signals, utilizes the different characteristics of the orthogonal signals in a transform domain, adopts transform domain receiving beam forming, solves the problem of high distance side lobe caused by high correlation of orthogonal time domain waveforms in practical application, improves the angular resolution, obtains high distance definition at the same time, and integrally improves the quality of sonar images.
The first embodiment is as follows:
in this example, the system parameters: the receiving array is a one-dimensional linear array, the width of an angular beam is 1.5 degrees, the working frequency of the receiving array is 60kHz, the sound velocity is 1500m/s, the acting distance is 50m, and the signal sampling rate is 300 kHz.
1. And (3) calculating:
assuming that the receiving array is a uniform linear array, the distance between adjacent array elements is half wavelength of the working frequency of the receiving array, in order to meet the requirement of the beam width in the angle direction of the system, according to the formula,
Figure BDA0001584188910000041
the calculation can be carried out, the number of the array elements in the actual receiving array is designed to be 36, and two transmitting matrixes are distributed at two ends of the receiving matrix.
From the calculated receiving array parameters, as can be seen from the simulation of fig. 4, the beam width of the system after aperture expansion is about 0.55 of the beam width of the actual receiving array system, and the angular resolution is improved.
The two transmitting matrixes transmit mutually orthogonal signals, the signal waveforms are respectively a positive frequency modulation signal with the center frequency of 55kHz and a negative frequency modulation signal with the center frequency of 85kHz, the bandwidth of the transmitting signals is 3kHz, and the pulse width is 10 ms.
The receiving array receives the target echo signal, and the analysis shows that the two transmitting signals have different characteristics in different order fractional order Fourier transform domains, firstly, the echo signal is subjected to-1.539 order divisionThe Fourier transform of several orders shows that the transmitting signal 1 has strong component in the transform domain of-1.539 orders, and the receiving beam is formed to obtain the transform domain signal y1(u) simultaneously, the echo signals are subjected to fractional Fourier transform of 1.539 order, so that the transmitting signals 2 have strong components in the transform domain of 1.539 order, and receiving wave beams are formed to obtain transform domain signals y2And (u) avoiding the adoption of correlation functions for waveform separation, which leads to high distance side lobes.
Then to the transform domain signal y1(u) and transform domain signal y2(u) inverse transform domain transformation is performed to transform the time domain signals to y1(t) and transform domain signal y2And (t) then performing time delay compensation to perform transmitting beam forming.
Finally, the distance direction high definition and angle direction high resolution images are obtained.
