Abstract

In recent SONAR (sound navigation and ranging) systems, wideband active SONAR systems has received more attention than narrowband SONAR systems due to the remarkable detection performance in terms of range resolution. However, the wideband SONAR systems usually requires a huge amount of computational burden in order to achieve their own superiority. To cope with this drawback of the wideband SONAR systems, this paper proposes a fast target detection and velocity estimation method using an extended replica in wideband hyperbolic frequency modulation active SONAR system. Computer simulation shows that the proposed method can be implemented by a highly reduced computational complexity with a little performance degradation in target detection and velocity estimation compared to the conventional filter bank method.

최근 능동 소나 시스템은 다중 목표물 탐지가 가능하도록 높은 거리 분해능을 얻기 위해 협대역 시스템에서 광대역 시스템으로 발전하고 있다. 하지만, 목표물 탐지 및 파라미터 추정 등의 성능 향상을 위해서는 광대역 신호처리가 요구되며, 이로 인해 연산량의 증가가 불가피하다. 본 논문에서는 hyperbolic frequency modulation (HFM) 펄스를 사용하는 광대역 능동소나 시스템에서 연산량의 증가를 최소화 하면서도 고속으로 목표물의 탐지 및 속도정보 추정을 할 수 있도록, 확장 레플리카를 이용한 광대역 HFM 탐지기 설계 방법을 제안한다. 모의실험을 통해 제안된 방법이 기존의 필터뱅크를 이용한 광대역 소나 탐지기법에 비해 탐지 및 도플러 추정에서 약간의 성능 열화가 있지만, 연산량 측면에서 매우 우수함을 보인다.
