Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of infrasound detection array calibration, and particularly relates to an infrasound detection array in-situ calibration method based on a target simulation source. BACKGROUND

[0002] Infrasound generally refers to sound waves with a frequency lower than 20 Hz, which widely exists in nature, industrial production, transportation and military activities, such as natural phenomena like earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, large-scale machinery operation, transportation, rocket and missile launching, industrial and nuclear explosion, and supersonic aircraft flight.

[0003] The signal characteristics of infrasound waves are related to the generation mechanism thereof. Different target sound sources have different sound generation mechanisms, and the kinematics and dynamics characteristics of infrasound signals generated by the same target sound source also have great differences. Therefore, by deploying an infrasound sensor array to collect and analyze infrasound wave signals and extract features, the positioning of infrasound sources and the comprehensive identification of fine parameters can be realized. Based on the characteristics of strong penetration and long propagation distance of infrasound waves, the monitoring technology of infrasound source positioning and identification using an infrasound sensor array is widely used in the fields of national defense safety, geological disaster prevention and control and geophysics research, and has obvious technical advantages. Typical applications include:

[0004] (1) As one of the four monitoring technical means (infrasound, underwater sound, radionuclide and earthquake) for fulfilling the verification task of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty, it is used for positioning the nuclear explosion site and estimating the nuclear explosion yield. The International Monitoring System (IMS) planned and constructed by the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Organization (CTBTO) is the largest infrasound monitoring network in the world;

[0005] (2) It is a mature technical means for tracking and reconnaissance of rocket and missile launching trajectories. The explosion point position can be located by trajectory tracking to evaluate the striking effect;

[0006] (3) It is used for predicting, monitoring, positioning and quantifying natural disasters like earthquakes, volcanoes and mudslides, and studying the activity rules of meteors and auroras;

[0008] The main components of the infrasound monitoring system include a wind noise reduction pipe, an infrasound sensor array, a data acquisition system, a wireless transmission device, a power supply, a Beidou timing and positioning system, and meteorological instruments. The infrasound monitoring system is generally installed in the wild and is in an unattended state for a long time. In order to ensure the effectiveness and reliability of the monitoring data, avoid missing and false reporting of major events, and urgently need an online monitoring system for the running state, including in-situ calibration of the infrasound sensor and in-situ calibration of the infrasound detection array. The core indicators of the in-situ calibration of the infrasound sensor include the sound pressure sensitivity and the frequency response. The core indicators of the in-situ calibration of the infrasound detection array include the positioning accuracy of the target source and the target characteristic identification performance.
