Description

Weak target positioning method based on interference structure matching processing under deep sea reliable acoustic path
Technical Field
The invention belongs to underwater acoustic array signal processing, and relates to a weak target positioning method based on interference structure matching processing under a deep sea reliable acoustic path.
Background
The deep sea Reliable Acoustic Path (RAP) is a channel of acoustic propagation that is characteristic of deep sea. The RAP condition is that the transducer is located below the critical depth of the deep sea (where the speed of sound is equal to the speed of sound near the sea surface), when an acoustic propagation path from the sea surface to the transducer is formed. This acoustic propagation path is not affected by sea-surface effects or sea-bottom interactions, the propagating signal is stable and reliable, and is therefore called a reliable acoustic path (Rui D, Kun-De Y, Yuan-Liang M, et al. A reliable acoustic path: Physical properties and a source localization method [ J ]. Chinese Physics B,2012,21(12): 124301.).
At present, the existing method places a receiving hydrophone in deep sea and passively detects the underwater target near the sea surface by extracting RAP multipath interference structure characteristics. However, in many cases, the radiation noise level of the target to be detected is low, so that the signal-to-noise ratio at the deep sea receiving hydrophones is low, and the multipath interference characteristics are easily submerged by the noise. At the moment, the underwater target detection problem is changed into a weak target detection problem, and due to the excessively low signal-to-noise ratio, the existing method is difficult to effectively extract the frequency of the interference structure, so that the detection performance is reduced.
