Beam Patterns of an Underwater Acoustic Vector Hydrophone Located Away From Any Reflecting Boundary
نویسنده
چکیده
A vector hydrophone is composed of two or three spatially collocated but orthogonally oriented velocity hydrophones plus an optional collocated pressure hydrophone. A vector hydrophone may form azimuth-elevation beams that are invariant with respect to the sources’ frequencies, bandwidths and radial location (in near field as opposed to the far field). This paper characterizes the spatial matched filter beam patterns (a.k.a. fixed or conventional or maximum signal-to-noise ratio beam patterns) and the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beam patterns associated with a single underwater acoustic vector hydrophone distant from any reflecting boundary.

Closed-Form Underwater Acoustic Direction-Finding with Arbitrarily Spaced Vector Hydrophones at Unknown Locations
This paper introduces a novel ESPRIT-based closedform source localization algorithm applicable to arbitrarily spaced three-dimensional arrays of vector hydrophones, whose locations need not be known. Each vector hydrophone consists of two or three identical but orthogonally oriented velocity hydrophones plus one pressure hydrophone, all spatially co-located in a point-like geometry. A velocity ...
متن کاملImplementation of an adaptive burst DQPSK receiver over shallow water acoustic channel
In an environment such as underwater channel where placing test equipments are difficult to handle, it is much practical to have hardware simulators to examine suitably designed transceivers (transmitter/receiver). The simulators of this kind will then allow researchers to observe their intentions and carry out repetitive tests to find suitable digital coding/decoding algorithms. In this p...

Aperture extension is achieved in this novel ESPRITbased two-dimensional angle estimation scheme using a uniform rectangular array of vector hydrophones spaced much farther apart than a half-wavelength. A vector hydrophone comprises two or three spatially co-located, orthogonally oriented identical velocity hydrophones (each of which measures one Cartesian component of the underwater acoustical...

A passive underwater surveillance system performs the function of detection and localisation by utilising the acoustic emissions from the source, whilst itself remaining concealed. The conventional technique employs an array of hydrophones (measure the scalar pressure), wherein the size of the array is dependent on the desired angular resolution and the wavelength of the signal to be monitored....
