Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of underwater target radiation noise measurement, and in particular relates to a sparse combination array measurement system, method, program and storage medium for underwater target radiation noise measurement. Background Art
[0002] With the development of vibration reduction and noise reduction technology, the radiated noise level of underwater targets has gradually decreased. How to accurately evaluate the radiated noise level of underwater targets has become a difficult problem. The underwater target radiated noise measurement system has gradually developed from the traditional single sound pressure hydrophone and multi-hydrophone measurement system to the linear array and volume array measurement system. The single sound pressure hydrophone measurement system commonly used in engineering has a simple configuration, but it is seriously affected by multi-path interference and cannot meet the measurement signal-to-noise ratio requirements for low-noise target radiated noise. The use of multiple sound pressure hydrophones to form a vertical linear array of hydrophones may reduce the influence of sea surface noise and channel multi-path interference, but the vertical linear array has no horizontal directivity and the measurement gain is low; at the same time, the array aperture required for low-frequency band testing is large, which is limited by the depth of the water body, making it difficult to deploy and the formation difficult to control. The use of a volume array system for radiated noise measurement can simultaneously obtain horizontal and vertical directivity. Compared with the commonly used cylindrical volume array, the spiral biconical volume array has a wider horizontal main lobe width and a narrower vertical main lobe width. It can ensure that the target radiating surface is within the main lobe of the beam while suppressing the interference of interface reflection. It has a high measurement gain, but there are problems such as the difficulty of deployment and implementation due to the large number of array elements and the large size of the low-frequency array base.
[0003] In recent years, the successful development and engineering practice of high-reliability and high-sensitivity vector hydrophones have provided new ideas for solving the problem of low-frequency radiated noise measurement. On the one hand, vector hydrophones can form unilateral directivity and obtain horizontal and vertical spatial processing gains; on the other hand, they can obtain additional coherent signal processing gains through the joint processing technology of sound pressure and vibration velocity. Therefore, the vector hydrophone array can ensure a large measurement gain while the array aperture is small. However, as the number of array elements of the vector hydrophone array increases, the system complexity increases significantly, and the system robustness decreases sharply, which is not conducive to the accurate and reliable measurement of underwater target radiated noise. In addition, since the underwater target radiated noise is a wide-band signal, the main lobe width of conventional beamforming changes with frequency. If the main lobe width is too wide or too narrow, it will affect the accuracy of underwater target radiated noise measurement. Therefore, in broadband array signal processing, the constant beamwidth beamforming method is often used to obtain a constant width beam main lobe, so that the spectrum characteristics of the array system to the receiving response output remain unchanged, and a high broadband measurement gain is stably obtained.

[0093]
[0094] Then, the steering vector of the acoustic pressure spiral biconical volume array is for:
[0095]
[0096] The frequency domain output of the array is X TBCA (f) is expressed as:
