The application discloses a ship radiated
noise power spectrum measurement method based on
frequency difference beam forming, comprising the following steps: obtaining a to-be-measured radiated
noise signal received by a base array; constructing a difference frequency
signal through the conjugate product of the to-be-measured radiated
noise signal and a reference frequency signal; performing beam forming on the constructed difference frequency signal based on the difference frequency, and calculating the amplitude of the beam output signal of the difference frequency signal; correcting the amplitude of the beam output signal of the difference frequency signal by using the amplitude of the reference frequency signal to obtain the amplitude of the to-be-measured radiated noise signal, and calculating the power spectrum of the to-be-measured radiated noise signal. The application converts the signal outside the design
frequency band of the base array to the inside of the design
frequency band to perform beam forming, improves the
array gain, better suppresses the
environmental noise, improves the measurement performance of the base array on the radiated noise outside the design
frequency band, greatly expands the frequency
band width of the ship radiated
noise measurement, and can realize the measurement of the radiated noise with a larger bandwidth by using a smaller
aperture array.
