Time-frequency modeling of shallow water environment: rigid vs. fluid seabed
نویسندگان
چکیده
When the ocean seabed is considered to be rigid, the ideal waveguide model can be used to model the shallow water environment. However, a more realistic ocean waveguide model treats the ocean floor as a boundary between two different fluid media. In this paper, a frequency-domain characterization of shallow water environments is proposed based on this realistic waveguide model with a fluid boundary. First, the time-frequency characteristics of this model are studied as well as the impact of the environment parameters on the dispersive phenomena. Then a frequency-domain matched filter receiver is designed to obtain time-dispersion diversity once we separate the modes using warping techniques in the time-frequency plane. Simulations demonstrate that the new receiver design improves the bit error rate performance.

For FY14, the first objective was to investigate the statistics of the mode intensity that result from scattering from a randomly rough seabed surface in a shallow water environment. The specific objective was to examine the feasibility of using a 2-way coupled mode methodology to analyze observed monostatic reverberation collected off Panama City, FL in 2013 in the 2-4 kHz band. The second obj...
