Abstract

The invention discloses a sparse optimization method for a transducer array of a three-dimensional imaging sonar system. A simulated annealing algorithm is used to perform sparse optimization on the transducer array elements in a plane array to obtain a sparse transducer array. After the beam pattern of the transducer array satisfies the threshold condition of the maximum side lobe peak and the threshold condition of the taper ratio simultaneously, the minimum transducer number that needs to be turned on for the sparse transducer array; the planar array before the sparse optimization is composed of Composed of M×N transducers, the transducers are uniformly distributed in a rectangular plane according to a half-wavelength or a wavelength interval; the taper ratio is the maximum weight coefficient of the transducer and the minimum weight of the transducer The ratio of the coefficients. The present invention uses as few transducer array elements as possible to achieve the system goal, reduces the hardware cost required for building the phased array three-dimensional image sonar system, and reduces the calculation amount of multiplication and accumulation required for the beamforming algorithm.

Description

Technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of phased array three-dimensional imaging sonar, in particular to a sparse optimization method for a transducer array of a three-dimensional imaging sonar system. Background technique [0002] Beamforming calculation is a commonly used signal processing method in the field of signal processing. It has a wide range of applications in sonar signal processing, radar signal processing, ultrasonic detection and other fields. However, due to the large amount of data that needs to be processed, it is used in practical applications. It is often difficult to calculate large-scale beams, and the amount of beamforming calculations is proportional to the number of transducers. [0003] A transducer array of a certain size is necessary for a high-resolution phased array three-dimensional image sonar system: in order to prevent large sidelobes from being generated, a half-wavelength spacing array is a condition that must be met;...
