Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0017] Example 1 The present invention discloses a method for reconstructing a spatial low-frequency sound field. This example further explains the present invention by taking an underwater space as an example. As shown in FIG. 1, the specific steps are as follows. S1. Reconstruction target low-frequency sound field S L is sampled at the maximum operating frequency f H of the high-frequency sound source, and the amplitude value A i (i = 1, 2,..., N) of each sampling point is obtained.

Equation

[0018] In this example, the maximum operating frequency f H of the high-frequency sound source is 6 kHz, and the reconstruction target low-frequency sound field S L ​is a sine wave with a frequency of 235 Hz. Since the sine wave is a periodic wave, its time length T is set as the periodic duration, that is, T = 1 / 235, whereby N is calculated to be 26. After the reconstruction of the low-frequency sine wave of one period is completed, the idle high-frequency sound source is used to reconstruct the low-frequency sine wave of the next period.

[0019] S2. Ideally, when the number of high-frequency sound sources is N or more, N idle high-frequency sound sources are selected from the acoustic array composed of high-frequency sound sources, high-frequency pulses are emitted to the target area, the state of the selected high-frequency sound source is "occupied", the target area is in the remote area of the acoustic array, and the amplitude value of the high-frequency pulse emitted by the i-th high-frequency sound source is A i and the delay is

[0020] In actual applications, when the number of high-frequency sound sources in the acoustic array is less than N, or the number of idle high-frequency sound sources is less than N, high-frequency sound sources less than N are selected to reconstruct the low-frequency sound field. In this embodiment, the acoustic array has 21 high-frequency sound sources numbered 1-21. Each high-frequency sound source is independent of each other, has the same operating parameters, and the 21 high-frequency sound sources form a horizontal array. As shown in FIG. 2, the horizontal array is located directly above the target area. Here, 19 high-frequency sound sources are in the idle state, that is, 19 high-frequency sound fields are used to reconstruct the low-frequency sound field. In order to remove the distortion caused by the signal received by the receiving device, first, emission correction is performed on the high-frequency sound source. Specifically, the emission correction includes the following steps.

[0021] S11. A signal receiving device is provided in the target area, and the high-frequency sound source emits an original high-frequency pulse into the target area. This signal is a sinc signal with a cut-off frequency of f H as shown in FIG. 3(a). The receiving device receives the original high-frequency pulse, and due to distortion, the waveform of the signal received by the receiving device is shown in FIG. 3(b).

[0022] S12. The pulse signal received by the receiving device is time-reversed to obtain a corrected high-frequency emission signal, and the waveform of this signal is shown in FIG. 4(a).

[0023] S13. The high-frequency sound source uses the corrected high-frequency pulse signal as a high-frequency pulse. In this situation, the waveform of the signal received by the receiving device is shown in FIG. 4(b).

[0024] Through the above-described emission correction, the signal received by the receiving device in the target area becomes a sinc signal. The high-frequency pulses emitted by multiple high-frequency sound sources are superimposed on the target area as shown in FIG. 5.

[0025] S3. The high-frequency pulses emitted by the selected high-frequency sound sources are superimposed on the target area to form a low-frequency sound field S LForm it.

[0026] In this embodiment, the idle high-frequency sound sources numbered 2-20 are selected, the state of the selected high-frequency sound source is "occupied", and the corrected high-frequency emission signal is emitted from the central high-frequency sound source to both sides at a time interval of Δt = 1 / f H sequentially, and as shown in Fig. 6(a), these emission signals are superimposed on the target area in the far field to form a low-frequency sound field.
