Background
The vector hydrophones can synchronously pick up the sound pressure and particle vibration velocity vectors at one point of a sound field at the same point in space, can carry out non-fuzzy orientation on a sound source in the whole space, has space directivity independent of sound wave frequency, and can know that the inherent mirror image amplitude of the original linear sound pressure array is smaller than the power of a target true position by the product theorem when a plurality of vector hydrophones are utilized to form a sonar array. Because of the cosine directivity irrelevant to the frequency, the vector array can break through the limit of half wavelength, realize the space undersampling, expand the array aperture to a certain extent, and improve the azimuth resolution and the precision.

Detailed Description
Reference will now be made in detail to the exemplary embodiments, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description refers to the accompanying drawings, like numbers in different drawings represent the same or similar elements unless otherwise indicated. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with the present invention. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatus and methods consistent with certain aspects of the invention, as detailed in the appended claims.
In order to facilitate understanding of the technical solution of the present application, the following continuously variable digital delay principle is described.
The existing methods all require that the unit impulse response of the FIR filter has odd symmetry or even symmetry, and the digital time delay generated by the unit impulse response is half of the length N of the digital filter and is fixed. Such filters cannot meet the requirements of any variable digital delay.
The digital time delay new method provided by the application does not require that the discretization unit impulse response of the FIR filter meets any symmetry condition. However, the envelope of its impulse response sequence, i.e., the reconstructed continuous unit impulse response, is required to satisfy the even symmetry condition. It can be proved that, as long as the condition is satisfied, the output signal of the FIR filter has a linear phase delay relationship with the original input signal after being reconstructed.
The magnitude of the time delay depends on the position of the symmetry axis of the successive unit impulse response functions with respect to time. It has now been demonstrated that:
let the input of the system be x (t), the output be y (t), and the unit impulse response of the system be h (t). If h (t) is an even-symmetric function, the symmetry axis is located at t0At this point in time, the fourier transform h (f) of h (t) is then:
Figure BDA0001842582920000051
wherein t' is t-t0
Figure BDA0001842582920000052
As can be seen from equation (1), the FIR filter with unit impulse response h (t) is a delay filter. Its amplitude response is determined by f (f); the magnitude of the time delay introduced is determined by the position t of the axis of symmetry0And (6) determining. In practice, for a causal system, t0Is any positive real number; and the time width of h (t) defines a certain minimum delay value. According to the sampling theorem, let x (t) be a limited frequency band signal; h (t) has a low-pass or band-pass characteristic. The Fourier transform of X (t) is X (f), and if X (t) and h (t) are sampled, the sampled input signal and unit impulse response are Xs(t) and hs(t) their Fourier transform Xs(f) And Hs(f) Respectively as follows:
Figure BDA0001842582920000053
Figure BDA0001842582920000054
the above equation shows that the sampled spectral function Hs(f) And Xs(f) Both are periodic repeats of the original spectra H (f) and X (f). Their convolution Ys(f) Is the periodic repetition of the continuum y (f) (i.e., the fourier transform of y (f)). The above-described sampling process, as long as the sampling theorem is satisfied,and the original continuous signal can be reconstructed without distortion without generating frequency aliasing phenomenon.
In order to verify that the reconstructed continuous unit impulse response meets the even symmetry condition and the linear phase delay relationship between the formed continuous signal and the original input signal, the method simulates a group of delay signals for verification, and the verification process is as follows:
1) simulating input signals of all channels:
s1, designing a group of verification signals with designated parameter characteristics, designing a first unit impulse response function for verification which is even symmetrical by using the verification signals, wherein the symmetry axis of the unit impulse response function is positioned at a preset time delay, and the time delay is related to the parameter characteristics of the time delay signals;
s2, sampling the first unit impulse response function for verification, and taking the sampled sample sequence as the unit impulse response of the first time delay filter for verification to obtain the first time delay filter for verification corresponding to the time delay signal with the appointed parameter characteristic;
s3, inputting the verification signal into a first time delay filter for verification, and outputting a first group of time delay signals for verification;
2) signal processing:
s4, designing an even-symmetric second unit impulse response function for verification by utilizing the first group of time delay signals for verification, wherein the symmetry axis of the unit impulse response function is positioned at a preset time delay, and the time delay is related to the parameter characteristics of the first group of time delay signals for verification;
s5, sampling the second unit impulse response function for verification, and using the sampled sample sequence as the unit impulse response of the second delay filter for verification, to obtain a second delay filter for verification corresponding to the first group of delay signals for verification;
s6, inputting the first group of time delay signals for verification to a second time delay filter for verification, and outputting a second group of time delay signals for verification;
3) error checking
And S7, subtracting the verification signal from the second group of time delay signals for verification, and displaying the result of the subtraction.
In order to prove the linear phase delay relationship between the delay signal generated by the above steps S1-S6 and the original input signal, step S7 performs an accuracy check on the resulting delay filter.
The result obtained by subtracting the verification signal from the output delay signal after the verification signal is subjected to the integer delay of the existing filter is shown in fig. 2A, and it can be seen that the subtracted value fluctuates in a wide range of-1 to 1.
After the verification signal is subjected to the high-precision time delay of the time delay filter in step S2 and the inverse time delay filter designed in step S5, the original signal is highly restored, and the result of subtracting the original signal from the filter output signal is shown in fig. 2B, which shows that the subtracted value fluctuates around 0. It can be seen that the continuous signal formed by the delay filter reconstructed by the even-symmetric unit impulse response function has very high restoration degree.
Based on the above derivation and verification, the present application proposes a continuous variable fractional delay estimation method for vector array prevalence, which can be seen in fig. 1.
Fig. 1 is a flowchart of a continuous variable fractional delay estimation method for vector array popularity provided in one embodiment of the present application, the method comprising:
step 101, acquiring signals by using a vector hydrophone, and determining a first group of time delay signals according to the acquired signals in a preset mode;
vector hydrophones can generally pick up signals of multiple vector channels, such as a sound pressure P channel, a vibration velocity Vc channel, and the like.
In practical application, the signals of each channel or the combined channel can be subjected to reverse time delay according to actual needs to obtain more accurate signals.
In one possible implementation, when the vector hydrophone is used to acquire signals and the acquired signals are used to determine the first set of time delay signals according to a predetermined manner, the vector hydrophone may be used to acquire signals and determine signals of a designated channel, where the designated channel may include at least a sound pressure P channel and a vibration velocity Vc channel.
Then, P, P + Vc, P × Vc, or (P + Vc) × Vc beam signals are used as the first set of delay signals as needed.
102, acquiring a time delay filter corresponding to a first group of time delay signals, wherein unit impulse response of the time delay filter is obtained by sampling a designed even-symmetric unit impulse response function;
the symmetry axis of the unit impulse response function is located at a predetermined time delay t0To (3).
In practical applications, the delay filter to which the delayed signal corresponds is usually related to a parameter characteristic of the delayed signal, such as the frequency of the delayed signal. Therefore, in order to improve the processing efficiency of the signal, the delay filter corresponding to various parameter characteristics may be designed in advance, and then the parameter characteristics and the delay filter are stored correspondingly.
In a possible implementation manner, the correspondingly stored procedure may include:
firstly, acquiring a time delay signal with specified parameter characteristics;
secondly, calculating the time delay difference between adjacent array elements according to the incident angle of the time delay signal, designing an even-symmetric unit impulse response function by using the time delay difference, wherein the symmetry axis of the unit impulse response function is positioned at a preset time delay t0The time delay is related to the parameter characteristics of the time delay signal;
and thirdly, sampling the unit impulse response function, taking the sampled sample sequence as the unit impulse response of the delay filter, obtaining the delay filter corresponding to the delay signal with the specified parameter characteristics, and storing the parameter characteristics and the delay filter as a group.
In this way, when the delay filter corresponding to the first group of delay signals is obtained, the parameter characteristics of the first group of delay signals are obtained first, and the delay filter corresponding to the frequency of the first group of delay signals is selected according to the corresponding relationship between the pre-stored parameter characteristics and the delay filter.
Obviously, in other implementation manners, the delay filter may also be designed in real time according to the first group of delay signals, and at this time, when the delay filter corresponding to the first group of delay signals is obtained, the delay difference between adjacent array elements may be calculated according to the incident angle of the first group of delay signals, where the delay difference is usually related to the frequency of the first group of delay signals; and then designing the unit impulse response function according to the time delay difference, sampling the unit impulse response function, and taking the sampled sample sequence as the unit impulse response of the time delay filter to obtain the time delay filter.
And 103, inputting the first group of time delay signals to a time delay filter to obtain a continuously variable second group of time delay signals.
In order to verify the delay effect of the second set of delay signals, the first set of delay signals may be subtracted from the second set of delay signals, and the result of the subtraction may be displayed.
For example, when the signal selected in step 101 is a signal of a P channel, the signal of the P channel is used as a first group of delay signals, a filter which meets the above condition and corresponds to the first group of delay signals is determined according to step 102, the first group of delay signals is input to the filter, the filter outputs a second group of delay signals, and in order to determine an effect, the second group of delay signals is subtracted from the first group of delay signals, as shown in fig. 3A, the left side is an effect of subtracting the delay signal generated by the existing FIR filter from the signal input to the FIR filter, and the right side is an effect of subtracting the first group of delay signals from the second group of delay signals corresponding to the signal of the P channel in this application.
In order to fully illustrate the advantage of the present application over the delay filtering of the existing FIR filter, the delay of the beam signal of P + Vc, P × Vc, or (P + Vc) × Vc is verified in a similar manner, and the comparison graphs with the conventional integer delay are shown in fig. 3B, fig. 3C, and fig. 3D, respectively. As can be seen from fig. 3A to 3D, the actual effect of the FIR high-precision delay provided by the present application is superior to that of the conventional integer delay, and it can be seen that the trajectory is clear after the high-precision delay, the beam is focused, the clutter is less, the weak target detection effect is significantly improved, and the sonar detection performance is significantly improved. And from the display of the beam forming azimuth process, (P + Vc) × Vc has the best effect, and image rejection, weak target detection and resolution are better than other combinations.
In summary, the method for estimating the continuous variable fractional time delay for the vector array popularity provided by the present application, through the FIR continuous variable digital time delay method introduced by the present application, when designing the FIR filter, only the unit impulse response function for reconstructing the unit impulse response of the filter needs to be designed to be even symmetry, so that the estimation of the continuous variable fractional time delay for the vector array popularity can be realized, and the method is very practical, easy to implement, and extremely high in precision, and can be successfully applied to the engineering project related to the multi-channel digital multi-beam forming.
