Deep sea broadband target depth estimation method based on stripe interference structure

Abstract

The invention relates to a deep sea broadband target depth estimation method based on a fringe interference structure, which comprises a vertical linear array and is conducive to the extraction of thebroadband interference fringe structure. The deep sea broadband target depth estimation method provided by the invention has the benefits that first, the vertical linear array is laid in water, and abroadband signal transmitted by a motion target is received; meanwhile, in an experimental environment, the simulation of interference strip structures with different sound source depths is performedby utilizing a sound field model, experiment and simulated interference fringe tracking are performed by utilizing an extended Kalman filter, tracked fringe position and quantity information is substituted into a cost function, and the cost function is minimized; at this moment, the corresponding sound source depth is a target estimation depth. The deep sea broadband target depth estimation method provided by the invention has the following advantages that the complex sound field model calculation is not needed; an array beam is utilized for output, so that the signal-to-noise ratio is improved; the robustness is good, and the change along with the environment is small; a hydrophone is positioned at the bottom of a sea and is convenient to lay; a submersible beacon can stably work for a long time.
