초록

능동소나를 이용한 해저면의 이미지를 얻기 위한 연구는 다양하게 수행되어져 왔으며, 그 해상도를 향상시키는 방법은 현재까지도 중요한 문제이다. 해상도를 향상시키기 위한 방법은 여러 가지가 있으며 좁은 빔폭을 활용하여 빔 해상도를 높이는 방법이 가장 대표적이다. 하지만 좁은 빔폭을 이용하여 해상도를 향상시키는 방식은 기술적인 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 제한된 빔폭을 가진 어레이를 통하여 보다 높은 빔 해상도를 얻기 위한 신호처리 기술이 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 중첩된 빔을 방사하는 sonar의 수신신호에 신호처리를 통해 해상도를 향상시키는 방식을 소개한다.

Many studies about generating images of seabed using active sonar have been carried out but image resolution enhancement is still an important problem. Many methods have been proposed to improve sonar resolution and the approach using narrow beam width is commonly and widely applied to enhance azimuth resolution. Unfortunately, this has technical limitations to reduce the beam width. Therefore, signal processing techniques are essential to achieving higher azimuth resolution when an array with conventional beam width is employed. This paper proposes a new approach that utilizes overlapped beams to obtain higher resolution.
