example 1

[0097] The acoustic vector sensor is composed of a sound pressure sensor and a three-dimensional vibration velocity sensor orthogonal to each other in the horizontal plane at the same point in space. The acoustic vector sensor measures the sound pressure and the three vibration velocity components in the x, y, and z axes at the same time. The ambient noise is isotropic noise, a 3kHz single-frequency target signal from (θ 1 ,φ 1 ) = (50°, 40°) incident to the vector sensor, SNR = 5dB, and the number of samples is 5000. The estimated results of the horizontal azimuth and elevation angles are given below.

The acoustic vector sensor measures the sound pressure and the two vibration velocity components in the x and y axes at the same time. The ambient noise is isotropic noise, a 3kHz single-frequency target signal from (θ 1 ,φ 1 )=(50°, 0°) is incident to the vector sensor, SNR=0dB, and the number of samples is 5000.

Abstract

The invention discloses an acoustic vector sensor based direction finding method, in particular to robust and high-precision direction finding of a target in the noise field of a marine environment byusing a single acoustic vector sensor. The method is implemented by an acoustic vector sensor. The acoustic vector sensor is composed of an acoustic pressure sensor and three vibration velocity sensors in a common space, and measure the acoustic pressure and the three vibration velocity components in x, y and Z directions at the same time. The specific process of the method is as follows: first,a spatial spectrum is constructed by using the Hadamard product of a first principal eigenvector of a received signal covariance matrix, so as to eliminate the influence of the channel phase error onthe direction finding result; and then, a non-blurred direction finding result is obtained through de-blurring. The effect of the method is not affected by the channel phase error and is highly robust, which ensures that the direction finding method still has high estimation accuracy under the condition of channel phase error and is helpful to realize practical application of a single vector sensor based high-precision direction finding technology.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a direction finding method of an acoustic vector sensor, belonging to the technical field of sensor signal processing. Background technique [0002] Due to the directivity of the vibration velocity channel of the acoustic vector sensor, a single acoustic vector sensor can realize target direction finding. The most commonly used orientation estimation method for single-vector sensors is the acoustic energy flow method. Under the condition of high signal-to-noise ratio, the acoustic energy flow method has high estimation accuracy; but at low signal-to-noise ratio, its estimation accuracy drops sharply. If the received data of the sound pressure channel and the vibration velocity channel of the single vector sensor constitute a vector, the target orientation estimation can be realized by means of array signal processing. The single vector sensor multiple signal classification (MUSIC) direction finding method is to use the array ...
