In this paper, broadband underwater propagation channel modeling based on eigenray analysis is discussed. Underwater channels are often formulated in frequency domain time-harmonic signals, which are impractical for simulating broadband signals in time domain. In this regard, time domain modeling of the underwater propagation channel is required for the simulation of broadband signals, for which the eigenray analysis based on ray tracing, resulting in multipath propagation delays in time-domain, is used in this paper. For discrete time system application, the phase, frequency-dependent loss and non-integer sample delays for each eigenray, are approximated by the finite impulse response of the broadband propagation channel.

Sound propagation algorithm for a sonar simulator is required to run in real-time and should be able to model the range and depth dependence of the Korean ocean environments. Ray model satisfies these requirements and we developed an algorithm for range-dependent ocean environments. In this algorithm, we considered depth-dependence of sound speed through rays based on a rectangular cell method and layer method. Range-dependence of sound speed was implemented based on a split-step method in the range direction. Eigen-ray is calculated through an interpolation of ray bundles and Gaussian interpolation function was used. The received time signal of sonar was simulated by Fourier transform of eigen-ray solution in the frequency domain. Finally, for the verification of proposed algorithm, we compared the results of transmission loss with other validated models such as BELLHOP, SNUPE, KRAKEN and OASES, for the Pekeris waveguide, wedge, and deep ocean environments. As a result, we obtained satisfactory agreements among them.

본 논문은 중거리 수중표적이 고정 설치된 수신기에 접근 시 표적신호의 다중경로에 신호변형을 일으키며, 특히 신호의 변형 중 도플러효과를 변화정도를 신호모의를 동하여 분석하였다. 동해의 동계와 하계의 대표적인 음속구조에 따른 고유음선(eigenray)의 도플러 주파수를 계산하였다. 수중표적의 속도는 12노트, 주파수는 135Hz, 350Hz, 신호는 정현파로 가정하여 신호모의를 하였다. 그 결과 해저면 반사가 한번인 음선은 수신신호에 주로 Vp-doppler를 형성하였고 두 번인 음선은 주로 Down-doppler를 형성하였다.

This paper proposes a ray-based forward modeling scheme which is suitable for the shallow water acoustic wave propagation simulations. The proposed model comprises of ray tracings for the layered media of which sound speed profiles are interpolated linearly. considerations of plane and spherical wave reflection coefficients. and calculations of the phases and the amplitudes of eigen rays. The main characteristic of the scheme is fast simulation time due to direct calculation of the broad-band time signals in the time-domain, i.e. without transformation of the frequency-domain solutions to the time si 밍 131s. Finally, we applied the model to 4-types of test environments and compared the resulting signals with those of ORCA and Ram in order to validate the proposed model.

High-frequency monostatic reverberation model (HYREV: HanYang Univ. REVerberation model) suitable for shallow-water environment is presented. It is difficult to predict reverberation signals in shallow water due to scattering from sea surface and seafloor. The arrival times and transmission losses from the source to scatterers are obtained from the eigenrays. The composite roughness theory is used to predict the boundary scattering. The signals generated by the HYREV and the GSM were compared with the observed signals and it is showed that the HYREV model provided a closer fit to the observed signals than those obtained using the GSM.

In October 1997, low-frequency reverberation was measured at an experimental site off the west coast of the Jeju island using the explosive charge, Signals Underwater Sound (SUS). Received signals were separated into the noise, the reflection, and the scattering region, and then were analyzed for the spectral and statistical characteristics of each region. In the analysis of the spectrum we verified that each region had a unique frequency band and statistical characteristics as well. The results of this analysis showed that the real and imaginary portions were shown to be both normal distributions in each frequency bin. The reverberation envelope had a Rayleigh distribution and the phase had a uniform distribution.

Low-frequency mono-static reverberation model for shallow-water environment is presented. It is necessary to develop the transmission loss model to calculate the sub-bottom interaction because the ray-based transmission loss model is difficult to compute the pressure accurately which penetrates the bottom medium. In this paper reverberation level is calculated using the RAM (Range dependent Acoustic Model) to augment the multi-path expansion model because it does not estimate transmission loss accurately in shallow water. The signals generated by the L-HYREV and the GSM are compared with the observed signals and it is showed that the L-HYREV model provides a closer fit to the observed signals than those obtained using the GSM.

Mid-Frequency bistatic reverberation level is modeled using ray theoretic algorithms. The algorithm assumes multiple forward/backward scatter along with reciprocity in the Propagation paths. The environments modeled are assumed to be range independent in bathymetry, bottom scattering and surface scattering. Mid-Frequency bistatic scattering algorithm is used as a scattering model. A comparison of predicted reverberation versus time with measured data is presented to verify the bistatic reverberation model. The result demonstrates that it is possible to obtain reasonable reverberation Predictions in experimental site.
