Problems solved by technology

(3) Factors that reduce the signal-to-noise ratio
The small number of scatterers in the water will cause the signal-to-noise ratio of the echo to drop significantly
Conversely, if the concentration of scatterers is too high, it will block the echo of deep water body, thereby reducing its signal-to-noise ratio
(4) Uneven velocity distribution
One is that the faster the flow velocity changes along the beam direction, the greater the velocity difference of scatterers in each water layer will be, and the echo spectrum width will naturally widen, and the standard deviation will increase when estimating stratified flow velocity

Abstract

The invention discloses an acoustic Doppler flow velocity measuring method based on autocorrelation estimation and valid data screening, and relates to the technical field of acoustic Doppler measurement. The method includes steps: estimating a complex autocorrelation function value R(tau), estimating a signal total power R(0), calculating a precision eta(v) of a sonar echo sample, and finally determining whether a current sample is reserved through a threshold. According to the method, samples of measurement data are screened through a relation between an autocorrelation estimation precisioncriterion value and the set threshold, the precision of underwater acoustic flow velocity estimation is improved, and it is indicated through analysis of actual measurement data that the method can obviously reduce the variance of flow velocity estimation and improve the key performance of an acoustic velocity-measuring device.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of acoustic Doppler measurement, in particular to an underwater acoustic Doppler flow velocity measurement method based on autocorrelation estimation and effective data screening. Background technique [0002] The velocity of water body and the moving velocity of underwater targets are very important measurement objects in underwater acoustic measurement. Most of the common hydroacoustic velocity measurement methods are based on the Doppler principle, and the flow measurement equipment includes acoustic Doppler velocity profiler and acoustic Doppler velocity profiler. The working process of the usual speed measuring sonar is as follows: First, a modulated short pulse with a carrier frequency of tens of kHz to hundreds of kHz is transmitted to the detection water area, and the sound wave encounters a scattering body in the water to produce sound scattering, and the scattered sound wave with extremely small po...
