Detection Range of Intercept Sonar for CWFM Signals
نویسندگان
چکیده
Stealth in military sonars applications may be ensured through the use of low power signals making them difficult to intercept by the enemy. In recent years, silent sonar design has been investigated by the Department of Marine Electronic Systems of the Gdansk University of Technology. This article provides an analysis of how an intercept sonar operated by the enemy can detect silent sonar signals. To that end a theoretical intercept sonar model was developed with formulas that can numerically determine the intercept ranges of silent sonar sounding signals. This was tested for a variety of applications and water salinities. Because they are also presented in charts, the results can be used to compare the intercept ranges of silent sonar and traditional pulse sonar.

Echolocating bats exhibit accurate three-dimensional (3D) auditory localization to avoid obstacles and intercept prey. The bat achieves high spatial resolution through a biological sonar system. Key features of the bat's sonar system are (1) high frequency, directional echolocation signals; (2) high frequency hearing; (3) mobile ears; and (4) measurement of distance from the time delay between ...

In active sonar systems, proper selection of the transmitted waveform is critical for target detection and parameter estimation. Each signal has its own diverse characteristics. Linear FM suffers from relatively high autocorrelation (ACF) side-lobes. The ACF sidelobes could be reduced by shaping the signal; other methods include Gaussian NLFM, Rayleigh NLFM and the combination of both these pul...
