Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention discloses a method for enhancing weak underwater signals with random resonance, belonging to the field of underwater acoustic engineering and signal processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] Research on underwater signal enhancement algorithms is of paramount importance to the field of underwater acoustics, particularly underwater time delay estimation. In recent years, stochastic resonance theory has provided a new approach to signal enhancement, transferring some noise energy to the signal frequency band through a nonlinear system, thereby enhancing weak signals. However, this technology still faces a series of challenges in practical application: First, traditional stochastic resonance systems are mostly based on bistable models, which present theoretical matching difficulties when processing high-frequency, large-parameter signals, requiring preprocessing methods such as amplitude compression and scaling transformation for adaptation; second, system parameters significantly affect performance, while manual optimization is inefficient, necessitating the introduction of intelligent optimization algorithms (such as artificial fish swarm algorithms and particle swarm optimization algorithms) for parameter search; furthermore, stochastic resonance processing is often accompanied by signal waveform distortion, requiring recovery through cascaded systems or post-processing.
[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, recent research has proposed various improvement methods. For example, some studies have used mixing and normalization to enable stochastic resonance systems to directly process high-frequency narrow pulse signals and effectively improve detection distance under extremely low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) conditions. Other works have constructed a composite potential function model, introducing a multistable structure on top of a bistable state, thus expanding the noise energy utilization range and further improving the output SNR. Still other studies have designed a piecewise tristable potential function, which enhances the system's ability to extract acoustic signals in high-noise environments by flexibly adjusting the potential well and barrier morphologies. Experiments show that these improved methods significantly improve the output SNR compared to traditional filtering methods and classical stochastic resonance systems when processing low SNR underwater acoustic signals.
[0004] Nevertheless, existing stochastic resonance enhancement methods generally suffer from problems such as complex system structure, large computational burden for parameter optimization, and insufficient adaptability to different signal types. Their robustness and generalization ability need further improvement, especially in real-time underwater scenarios with high requirements and diverse signal forms. Therefore, there is still a need to research more efficient, adaptive, and easily implemented new signal enhancement methods to better meet the needs of underwater acoustic detection, communication, and positioning applications. Summary of the Invention

The signal-to-noise ratio is significantly improved and the signal outline is clearly visible, providing a reliable basis for subsequent time delay estimation. Figure 7 The single-sided power spectrum of the received signal is shown. The spectral characteristics are not obvious, making it difficult to identify the effective signal components, reflecting the concealment of the signal in a low signal-to-noise ratio environment. Figure 8 The single-sided power spectrum of the output signal of the random resonance system is shown. A significant energy peak appears in the low-frequency band, indicating that high-frequency noise is effectively suppressed and transferred to the low-frequency region, and the weak signal is enhanced. Figure 9 The convergence process of the improved moss growth optimization algorithm is demonstrated. It achieves a rapid increase in signal-to-noise ratio from -15dB to over -7dB in only 30 iterations, showing good convergence speed and optimization performance. In the figure, IMGO represents the improved moss growth optimization algorithm. Figure 10 The potential function curve of the optimized linear potential well wall piecewise tristable stochastic resonance system is shown. The optimized parameters are: , , , and Compared with the initial settings, the optimized barrier height, well depth and symmetry better match the target signal characteristics, forming a clear tristable structure, which effectively enhances the ability of the stochastic resonance system to enhance weak underwater detection and communication signals.
