Environmentally adaptive reverberation nulling using a time reversal mirror

چکیده
Backscattering from the rough water-bottom interface can serve as a surrogate probe source in time reversal. A time-gated portion of the reverberation then is refocused to the bottom interface at the corresponding range @Lingevitch et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 111, 2609–2614 ~2002!#. In this paper, reverberation nulling is investigated to enhance active target detection without a priori knowledge of the environment. The basic idea is to minimize the acoustic energy incident on the corresponding scattering interface by applying an excitation weight vector on the time reversal mirror which is in the complementary subspace orthogonal to the focusing vector. Numerical simulations illustrate the potential of reverberation nulling using a time reversal mirror. © 2004 Acoustical Society of America. @DOI: 10.1121/1.1765194#

Experimental demonstration of adaptive reverberation nulling using time reversal
The concept of environmentally adaptive reverberation nulling using a time reversal mirror TRM recently has been described Song et al., J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 116, 762–768 2004 . In this paper, monostatic reverberation nulling is demonstrated experimentally at 850 and 3500 Hz using data from a shallow water experiment conducted off the west coast of Italy in April 2003. The active transmission of ...
متن کاملAdaptive Reverberation Nulling Using a Time Reversal Mirror
The major problem for active sonar systems operating in shallow water is the detection of target in the presence of severe bottom reverberation. The focusing capability of a time reversal mirror (TRM) suggest two different approaches to this problem. First, a TRM focuses acoustic energy on a target enhancing the target echo while shadowing the boundaries below and above the focus in an acoustic...

متن کاملEcho-to-reverberation Enhancement Using a Time Reversal Mirror
Reverberation from rough ocean boundaries often degrades the performance of active sonar systems in the ocean. The focusing capability of the time-reversal method provides a new approach to this problem. A time reversal mirror (TRM) focuses acoustic energy on a target enhancing the target echo while shadowing the boundaries below and above the focus in a waveguide, thereby reducing reverberatio...
متن کاملPassive reverberation nulling for target enhancement.
Echo-to-reverberation enhancement previously has been demonstrated using time reversal focusing when knowledge of the channel response between a target and the source array elements is available. In the absence of this knowledge, direct focusing is not possible. However, active reverberation nulling still is feasible given observations of reverberation from conventional source array transmissio...
