Matrix filters for passive sonar
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper introduces matrix filters as a tool for localization and detection problems in passive sonar. The outputs of an array of sensors, at some given frequency, can be represented by a vector of complex numbers. A linear filtering operation on the sensor outputs can be expressed as the multiplication of a matrix (called a matrix filter) times this vector. The purpose of a matrix filter is to attenuate unwanted components in the measured sensor data while passing desired components with minimal distortion. Matrix filters are designed by defining an appropriate pass band and stop band and solving a convex optimization problem. This paper formulates the design of matrix filters for passive sonar and gives two examples.

A Passive Sonar System Based on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are typically used to “actively” probe the ocean, using sensors that are mounted on a vehicle that moves through the water column. A more challenging task is to use an AUV to position a bottom-mounted stationary platform, such as a passive sonar that requires a large aperture. This paper describes the development of a passive sonar, which was mounted as a p...
متن کاملA graph search algorithm: Optimal placement of passive harmonic filters in a power system
The harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. This paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. The objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...
متن کاملImplementation of Adaptive and Synthetic-Aperture Processing Schemes in Integrated Active–Passive Sonar Systems
Progress in the implementation of state-of-the-art signalprocessing schemes in sonar systems is limited mainly by the moderate advancements made in sonar computing architectures and the lack of operational evaluation of the advanced processing schemes. Until recently, matrix-based processing techniques, such as adaptive and synthetic-aperture processing, could not be efficiently implemented in ...
متن کاملAdaptive CFAR Performance Prediction in an Uncertain Environment
The well-known sonar equation (SE) is the classical method of predicting passive sonar performance. The SE is derived assuming both the signal wavefront and noise field directionality are known exactly. As a consequence, the SE depends only on post-detection signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Detection performance calculations in uncertain environments with known noise field directionality has been p...
