Background
In a low-frequency and very low-frequency working section, the detection performance of an underwater sonar array is severely restricted by Rayleigh limit of the traditional sonar design. And the breakthrough of the research work of the small-size array with the array spacing far smaller than the half wavelength provides a solution for the problem. In recent years, a super-directional beam forming method based on a small-size sonar array becomes a research hotspot, and a large amount of design analysis and computer simulation show the advantages of the array. However, the existing small-size array takes a linear array and a planar array as main research objects no matter taking an acoustic hydrophone or a vector hydrophone as a basic element, and is only suitable for small glancing angle target detection and horizontal azimuth estimation of a target due to the limitation of a beam forming algorithm.
With the development of underwater exploration to deep and open sea, sound field information contained in the vertical direction is abundant, so that the three-dimensional information of the sound field needs to be fully utilized. However, so far, in the underwater acoustic field, there is still a lack of a small-size array and a beam forming algorithm thereof which work in a very low frequency band and are suitable for three-dimensional space detection, so that research on the three-dimensional beam forming algorithm of the small-size array is a problem to be solved urgently in practical engineering application at present.

wHss)=gHER
the small-size vector volume array is weighted by the weighting vector to form a beam pattern which can be guided in a three-dimensional space, and a reliable and effective method is provided for solving the contradiction between the gain of the very-low frequency band high three-dimensional space and the aperture of the array.
First, the steerability of the method of the present invention in three-dimensional space is verified, and in the case of d λ 120, the beam is pointed (45 ° ), and as a result, as shown in fig. 4, it can be pointed exactly in the desired direction with a small size.
Next, the range of use is verified, taking the highest order spherical harmonic N ═ 3 that can be extracted by the array as an example, the desired pointing angle is (90 °,180 °), the beam pattern is analyzed as a function of d/λ in the azimuth and elevation angles, respectively, and in fig. 5- (a) and (b), the curves marked with black "x" are the section views of the desired beam pattern in the azimuth and elevation angles, respectively. As can be seen from FIGS. 5- (a) and (b), in the case that d λ ≦ 16, the main lobe width of the beam pattern remains substantially unchanged, the side lobe gradually increases, but the error from the ideal beam pattern is smaller, and as d/λ continues to increase, the error introduced by the differential approximation increases, the distortion of the beam pattern is serious, and the performance of the beam forming algorithm is reduced.
Finally, the gain and the robustness of the invention are verified, and under the condition that the array shown in fig. 1 is used for respectively extracting 1-3 order spherical harmonics to carry out beam forming, the change trend of the array gain along with d/lambda is shown in fig. 6- (a), wherein a black dotted line is the theoretical array gain of a corresponding order, and a red solid line represents the change of the simulated array gain along with d/lambda. From simulation results, the small-size vector volume array and the beam forming algorithm thereof built herein have higher array gain, for example, N is 3, d λ is 120, at this time, the array gain can reach 12dB, and under the condition that d/λ is less than or equal to 16, the array gain is basically overlapped with the corresponding dotted line and remains unchanged, which means that the algorithm can obtain high gain in a wider low-frequency band. However, as can be seen from fig. 6- (b), as the frequency decreases, WNG will decrease rapidly, and the array will be more sensitive to the amplitude-phase error and self-noise of the primitive, and the robustness of the whole system will be worse. Meanwhile, the comparison of the array gain and the white noise gain under the condition of different orders N is known as follows: along with the increase of the maximum spherical harmonic order N, the array gain gradually increases, and the white noise gain gradually decreases.
