Problems solved by technology

Based on the theory of phase-mode transformation, Zhu Zhongrui et al. used the anti-noise ability of sound-pressure-vibration-velocity joint processing, combined with subspace algorithms to realize the long-range target orientation estimation of sound vector circular array (Yang Desen, Zhu Zhongrui, Shi Shengguo, Mo Shiqi . Acoustic vector circular array phase modal domain target orientation estimation[J]. Acoustica Sinica, 2014, 39(1): 19-26), but only studied the case where the array manifold is known, the robustness of the orientation estimation method is relatively low. Poor, still unable to meet the needs of long-range passive detection of underwater targets
[0005] The joint processing method of sound pressure and vibration velocity has made great progress in underwater target detection, and has great potential in practical engineering applications, but there is no report on the robust sound vector circular array modal domain orientation estimation method

The method includes the following steps that: the received signals P(t), Vx (t) and Vy (t) of an acoustic vector circular array acoustic pressure channel, an acoustic vector circular array vibration velocity x channel and an acoustic vector circular array vibration velocity y channel are obtained; the received signals Pe (t), Vex (t) and Vey(t) of a phase mode-domain acoustic pressure channel, a phase mode-domain vibration velocity x channel and a phase mode-domain vibration velocity y channel are obtained; Vex (t) and Vey(t) are rotated electronically, so that a combined vibration velocity Vec (t) can be obtained, a covariance matrix Repv is obtained based on Pe (t) and Vec (t), an unitary matrix Q is introduced to transform the matrix Repv, so that a real-value covariance matrix Rpv of mode-domain acoustic pressure and vibration velocity combined processing can be obtained; a steering vector a<~>r(Phi<~>) which has been subjected to mode-domain transformation and real-value processing is constrained, second-order cone programming is adopted to carry out solving, so that an optimal weight vector Omegarob can be obtained; and an output space spectrogram can be obtained based on the steering vector Omegarob which has been subjected to mode-domain transformation and unitary matrix real-value transformation, and a target direction can be obtained based on a spectrum peak position. With the method of the invention adopted, the problems of performance degradation and high signal-to-noise ratio processing threshold of a minimum variance distortionless response algorithm under a condition that related sound sources are difficult to distinguish and mismatching occurs can be solved. The method has the advantages of high resolution, high robustness, small amount of calculation, strong background noise suppression ability and the like.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sensor array signal processing method, in particular to an acoustic vector sensor circular array orientation estimation method. Background technique [0002] Passive sonar azimuth estimation is an important issue in underwater acoustic array signal processing. Most acoustic arrays are used to obtain target azimuth information. Since uniform circular arrays can obtain 360° omnidirectional and unambiguous azimuth information, they are widely used in sonar system. In addition, the sound vector sensor can pick up the scalar and vector information at a certain point in the sound field synchronously and co-located in space, and can obtain more sound field information than the sound pressure sensor. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out the research on the azimuth estimation method of the acoustic vector circular array for underwater target detection. [0003] Acoustic vector signal processing technology provides a s...
