Recently, ship hull-mounted passive sonar system solution is needed in the perspective of improving target detection and elimination of vibration-induced noise. Our research team suggests acousticvibration matching method using front and rear signal of a sensor as the improvement of the problem above. Thus in this paper, theoretical background about matching method and its application on finite element method based multi-physics simulation are described. Furthermore, it is shown that target detection and hull vibration performance are improved by using matching method under the condition of our sensor system. Finally, practicality and future research are discussed.

초음파 변환기의 방사 컨덕턴스를 결정하기 위해서는 변환기로부터 방사된 음향파워와 입력전압의 정밀측정을 요구하게 된다. 음\ulcorner파워는 초음파를 거의 완전 반사시킬 수 있는 표적을 사용하여 변환기로부터 방사된 음압에 의해 표적에 가해진 힘을 수동맞저울과 레이저 간섭계로 측정하여 구하였으며, 입력전압을 열 변환기와 전압계를 한 시스템으로 하여 정밀 측정하였다. 방사 컨덕턴스의 최대 측정오차는 $\pm$4% 이내로 평가되었다.

In passive sonar system, frequency lines generated by underwater target are very important for detection, tracking and classification. In this paper, the extraction method of unstable frequency line from the time samples of the radiated noise of underwater target is studied. As unstable frequency line is time varying, an extended Kalman filter algorithm which is desirable for nonlinear system is applied to extract unstable frequency line. The proposed method shows good extraction of unstable frequency line by application of simulated signal and real target.

최근 음악을 재생할 수 있는 다양한 소형기기들의 발전이 이루어지고 있다. 휴대용 음향기기에서 곡을 탐색할 경우, 곡 탐색 습관의 특성상 눈으로 확인하지 않고 손을 사용한 촉각적 피드백만을 이용하는 것이 대부분이다. 또한 곡 탐색 과제는 청각적인 표적을 찾는 것임에 반하여, 지금까지 청각적인 단서에 대한 연구의 대부분은 시각적인 표적을 찾는 것에 집중되어 있었다. 본 연구에서는 청각적인 표적을 탐색하는데 있어 청각적 위치 단서가 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 주어진 곡 리스트를 암기한 후, 화면에 제시되는 표적 곡을 탐색하는데 있어 청각적인 위치 단서가 있는 좌우 조건, 가운데 조건, 그리고 무음 조건의 경우에 따른 곡 탐색의 정확률과 반응 시간을 측정하였다. 과제는 정상과 오류 두 가지 유형으로 구성되었다. 결과는 청각적인 위치 정보가 포함된 좌우 조건이 정상 과제와 오류 과제에 있어서 가운데 조건과 무음 조건에 비하여 모두 유의미하게 짧은 반응 시간을 보였다. 본 실험 결과는 휴대용 음향기기뿐만 아니라 위성항법장치(GPS), 가상환경(Virtual Environment) 등과 같이 청각적인 표적을 찾아야 하는 과제를 포함하는 환경에도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Target state estimation is a fundamental problem of the sonar signal processing. In this paper, the covariance analysis techniques are applied to enhance the performance of the target state estimation of a monopulse sonar system. MOST, the artificial target signal generator based on the highlight model is used to generate signals in various target states. The performance of the developed method has been evaluated by applying it to the various S/N. The enhanced performance of the covariance analysis method presented in this paper is discussed.

A matched-target model inversion method was developed for a passive sonar to estimate the position of moving targets. Based on the well known matched-field processing in underwater acoustics, the method finds target position by matching the measured target directions and frequencies with the corresponding values of the proposed target model. For the efficient and accurate estimations, the parameter searching was accomplished using a hybrid optimizing method, which first starts with a global optimization such as generic algorithm or simulated annealing then applies a local optimization of a simple down hill algorithm. The suggested method was testified using simulations for three different moving scenarios. The simulation results showed that the method is robust in convergence, even under the situation of over 5 times standard deviation of Gaussian distribution of measured error, and is practical in calculation time as well.

The angle-tracking of maneuvering targets is required to the state estimation and classification of targets in underwater acoustic systems. The Problem of angle-tracking multiple closed and crossing targets has been studied by various authors. Sword et al. Proposed a multiple target an91e-tracking algorithm using angular innovations of the targets during a sampling Period are estimated in the least square sense using the most recent estimate of the sensor output covariance matrix. This algorithm has attractive features of simple structure and avoidance of data association problem. Ryu et al. recently Proposed an effective multiple target angle-tracking algorithm which can obtain the angular innovations of the targets from a signal subspace instead of the sensor output covariance matrix. Hwang et al. improved the computational performance of a multiple target angle-tracking algorithm based on the fact that the steering vector and the noise subspace are orthogonal. These algorithms. however. are ineffective when a subset of the incident sources are coherent. In this Paper, we proposed a new multiple target angle-tracking algorithm for coherent and incoherent sources. The proposed algorithm uses the relationship between source steering vectors and the signal eigenvectors which are multiplied noise covariance matrix. The computer simulation results demonstrate the improved Performance of the Proposed algorithm.

When a active sonar signal is transmitted and returned back from a target, it has been distorted by various properties of acoustic channel such as multipath arrivals. And signals have been appeared to be different form by target position and attitude. Therefore, we simulated the target echo signal using 3 dimensional target model include reflects target features. In this paper, we develop components form of a simulated target model is made up equally spaced highlight points, and each part of the target consists of shape function. We can simulate a target echo signal and Target strength (TS) according to wave incident angle. To verify, we made small scale target in kit form and we had got underwater target signal for comparing simulation result in water tank.

A computationally efficient algorithm is presented for 3-D near-field source localization using a uniform circular away (UCA). Algebraic relations are demonstrated between the incident angles (elevation angle and azimuth angle) under the far-field assumption and the actual near-field location (range. elevation angle, and azimuth angle). Using these relations as paths to follow to the peak of the 3-D MUSIC spectrum, the proposed algorithm replaces the 3-D search required in the conventional 3-D MUSIC with a 1-D path following after a 2-D initialization. thereby reducing the computational burden.

Simulation of the target-scattered echo requires the understanding of scattering mechanism at the highlight points. In this paper, the basic assumption of Highlight Model is reviewed through the analyzed data obtained in the acoustic water tank experiment. The analysis shows that the scattering mechanism involves pulse elongation and frequency shift as elements of target-scattered echo, and that the internal structures affect the temporal response of the target-scattered echo significantly. The band-limited impulse response or Green's function due to the diffraction from highlight points of internal structures is not mere delta function, but acts like a filter, which causes frequency shift and is elongated in time.
