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: reliable acoustic path) is a channel of acoustic propagation that is specific to deep sea. The RAP occurs if the transducer is below the critical depth in the deep sea (the speed of sound at the critical depth is equal to the speed of sound near the sea surface) where an acoustic propagation path from the sea surface to the transducer is formed. The acoustic propagation path is not affected by off-shore effects or by subsea interactions, and the propagation signal is stable and reliable, hence the term 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 is to place a receiving hydrophone in the deep sea, and passively detect an offshore underwater target by extracting RAP multi-path interference structural features. In many cases, however, the target radiation noise level to be detected is low, so that the signal-to-noise ratio at the deep sea receiving hydrophone is low, which tends to result in the multipath interference characteristics being swamped by noise. At this time, the underwater target detection problem becomes a weak target detection problem, and an excessively low signal-to-noise ratio makes it difficult for the existing method to effectively extract the interference structure frequency, resulting in a decrease in detection performance.
