The application discloses a towed array passive positioning method based on
wideband matrix filtering, calculates a
sound field propagation matrix by using a two-dimensional parabolic equation model, obtains different distance sound source-
receiver system propagation matrices through
matrix multiplication operation, extracts matrix coefficients from different distance
system propagation matrices according to sound source depth and horizontal
array element positions, and forms a new sparse
system propagation matrix. The sparse system
propagation matrix is processed to form a
wideband matrix filter set, finally, the horizontal array receiving
signal is processed by using the
wideband matrix filter set, energy normalization is performed on different distance
processing results, a wideband distance-depth
ambiguity diagram is formed, and target depth and distance
estimation results are obtained. The application can effectively improve the target
position resolution of the towed array
wideband signal passive positioning, reduce the sidelobe intensity in the two-dimensional
ambiguity diagram, and greatly reduce the energy outside the
main lobe, and has important value for improving the target positioning performance in the actual environment.
