High-speed Processors for Sonar
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The Applied Physics Laboratory and its subcontractors have been leaders in the development of programmable sonar signal processors for 19 years. Several novel architectures for both hardware and software have resulted, giving APL the most powerful sonar signal-processing facilities in the United States. This article traces the historical evolution of sonar-processing hardware, with emphasis on the development of high-speed sonar processors in the Strategic Systems Department.

Training Radial Basis Function Neural Network using Stochastic Fractal Search Algorithm to Classify Sonar Dataset
Radial Basis Function Neural Networks (RBF NNs) are one of the most applicable NNs in the classification of real targets. Despite the use of recursive methods and gradient descent for training RBF NNs, classification improper accuracy, failing to local minimum and low-convergence speed are defects of this type of network. In order to overcome these defects, heuristic and meta-heuristic algorith...
متن کاملMatched Field Processing for Active and Passive Sonar
The complexity and dynamics of shallow water limit the performance of adaptive array processors. Matched field processors are especially sensitive since they require accurate environmental models to construct signal replica vectors. The long term goals are i) to determine processors performance limits and ii) to develop robust algorithms for adaptive array processing in shallow water for both a...

متن کاملA Framework for Real-Time High-Throughput Signal and Image Processing Systems on Workstations
Real-time data-intensive systems such as sonar beamformers and synthetic aperture radar processors have traditionally required implementation in expensive custom hardware. Current systems use off-the-shelf programmable processors in customized configurations to reduce development cost. To reduce development cost and time further, we consider the use of workstations as the target architecture an...
