This paper examines the signal processing parameters of the field differencing method, a technique for estimating the source velocity or distance using a single receiver. The constraints that must be obeyed during the application of the field differencing method and the effect of the parameters on the velocity estimation performance were analyzed. Several cases identified in this study using the SWellEX-96 experiment data show that when applying the sound field differential technique, large errors may occur in the radial source velocity estimation results depending on parameter settings. The study confirmed that the influence of the processing parameters can vary depending on the signal frequency, and presented guidelines for selecting parameter values of the field differencing method for correct radial velocity estimation.
