摘要
为了提高水声阵列性能,本文基于水声阵列探测系统的工程应用,提出了一种水声阵列"空域反转"和噪声抑制的技术。通过阵列信号空间反转和卷积,对阵元孔径进行虚拟扩展。在此基础上,对扩展后的阵列进行灵敏度均衡,分析了均衡技术对"空域反转"阵列性能的影响。"空域反转"使各向同性不相关噪声聚焦,将协方差矩阵中心元素置零,抑制部分噪声,进一步提高阵列处理的增益。研究结果表明:本文提出的阵列处理技术,能够有效地提高各向同性噪声中的水声阵列的处理增益,能够为提高水声阵列目标探测性能提供一种技术途径。
This study focuses on the detection performance of underwater acoustic array. A new technique of "spatial reversal"and noise suppression of an underwater acoustic array is proposed to meet the demand of engineering application to an underwater acoustic array detection system. The aperture virtual extension is achieved by array signal spatial reversal and convolution. Sensitivity equalization of the extended array is conducted,and the influence of equalization technology on the performance of "spacial reversal"array is analyzed. The isotropic and uncorrelated noises,processed by spatial reversal and convolution,concentrate on the central element of the covariance matrix. The noise suppression is achieved by zero setting of the central element. Results indicate that the proposed array processing techniques can effectively improve the processing gain in the isotropic noise environment. Moreover,the proposed technique provides insights to improve the target detection performance of underwater acoustic arrays.
