The invention provides an
underwater weak target integrated detection and positioning method using a
deep sea distributed
MIMO sonar, the distributed
MIMO sonar is used to suppress channel fluctuation and target intensity fluctuation, and at the same time, the
signal waveform of each detection node and the two-way propagation characteristic of a
seabed ejection channel are combined, so that the
underwater weak target integrated detection and positioning method based on the
deep sea distributed
MIMO sonar can be realized. A joint matching filter for simultaneously realizing
signal waveform matching and channel
structure matching is designed, a multipath cumulative
gain is obtained on the basis of obtaining a traditional space-
time processing gain, the
signal-to-mix ratio and the signal-to-
noise ratio are synchronously improved, and finally, a
peak value fused and output by each node of the distributed MIMO sonar is used as a test statistic, so that the test accuracy is improved. And meanwhile, the
peak value position is used as a target positioning result, so that integrated detection and positioning of the weak target in the deep-sea shadow area are realized. Compared with a traditional target detection method using multipath arrival
feature matching, the method provided by the invention makes full use of the
seabed ejection
channel gain, and has better target detection and positioning effects under the conditions of low signal-to-mix ratio and low signal-to-
noise ratio.
