Fast range and Doppler estimation for narrowband active sonar
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present a computationally simple algorithm suitable for fast, high resolution estimation of time delays and doppler shifts (which are necessary for target localization and tracking) between narrowband signals in an active sonar system. The algorithm uses a modulated Lagrange interpolation filter and an LMStype algorithm. The problem of delay and doppler estimation is reduced to a linear regression problem. Convergence and performance analysis of the method is studied both analytically and through simulation. It is demonstrated that the method provides estimates close to the Cramer-Rao Lower Bound.

Design of an optimum wideband active sonar array with robustness
The use of wideband active sonar array processing to estimate the range, velocity and bearing of a target has received much interest in the literature recently. Although increased attention has been focused on wideband correlation processing for estimating range and velocity, array directivity patterns are almost always computed and interpreted under the narrowband signal assumption. This paper...
متن کاملA Comparison of Broadband and Narrowband Fisheries Sonar Systems
Some of the differences between broadband and narrowband sonar systems applied in fisheries hydroacoustics are examined. Following a brief discussion of the advantages and disadvantages of broadband sonar, three different aspects of narrowband and broadband sonar systems are compared: detection, Doppler processing, and split-beam localization. Summaries are provided that compare representative ...
متن کاملCramer-Rao bounds for estimating range, velocity, and direction with an active array
We derive Cramér–Rao bound (CRB) expressions for the range (time delay), velocity (Doppler shift), and direction of a point target using an active radar or sonar array. First, general CRB expressions are derived for a narrowband signal and array model and a space-time separable noise model that allows both spatial and temporal correlation. We discuss the relationship between the CRB and ambigui...
متن کاملScharf and Pezeshki: Virtual Array Processing for Active Sensing
In this paper, we describe how an active radar/sonar imaging problem may be formulated as a virtual passive sensor array processing problem. We consider an active sensing problem where it is desired to form a range-Doppler image at a slowtime rate, even though the radar/sonar can transmit pulses at a fast time rate. By transmitting pulses at the fast time rate we can estimate the second-order s...
متن کاملPerformance Evaluation of an ANC-based Hybrid Algorithm for Multi-target Wideband Active Sonar Echolocation System
This paper evaluates performances of an adaptive noise cancelling (ANC) based target detection algorithm on a set of real test data supported by the Defense Evaluation Research Agency (DERA UK) for multi-target wideband active sonar echolocation system. The hybrid algorithm proposed is a combination of an adaptive ANC neuro-fuzzy scheme in the first instance and followed by an iterative optimum...
