잔향음 세한 환경에서 능동소오나를 운용시 잔향음은 표적탐지를 저해하는 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. 그러한 환경에서 잔향음을 효과적으로 제거하고 표적신호를 보존하기 위한 기법으로 priori estimation error를 사용하는 deterministic LSL(least squares lattice) 알고리즘을 적용하였으며, LSL 필터의 입력신호는 천해에서 고주파 센서를 이용하여 실측한 CW 및 FM 잔향음신호와 모의된 표적신호를 합성한 신호를 이용하였다. 모의 실험 결과 잔향음신호는 상당히 감소되었을 뿐 만 아니라 도플러 변화가 없는 표적신호에 대해서도 LSL필터는 양호한 응답을 보였다.

능동 소오나 시스템에서는 잔향음 제한 환경에서 표적 검출을 하기가 용이하지 못하다. 본 논문에서는 고정된 노치 필터로 제거할 수 없는 시 불변성의 잔향음을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있는 방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 적응형 잡음 제거기가 갖고 있는 단점을 보완하기 위하여, Gram-Schmidt 직교화과정을 전처리 기법으로 사용하였다. 아울러, 제안된 잔향음 기법을 동해에서 실측한 자료에 적용함으로써 그 성능을 검증하였다.

천해에서의 음파전달은 심해와 비교하여 복잡하고 경계면의 영향을 많이 받으며 서해에서 하계의 평균 수온자료로 잔향음을 계산한 결과 해저면 잔향음(reverberation)이 가장 우세한 것으로 나타났다. 특히 서해에서는 하계에 내부파에 의한 강한 수온약층의 생성이 관측되었으며, 이런 현상은 음파전달에 많은 영향을 줄 것으로 예측된다. 내부파를 조석에 의한 장주기와 단주기로 구분하여 적용한 결과 고주파 음원을 사용할 경우 장주기 내부파에 의한 수온약층의 수식변동에 따른 잔향음은 최대 13dB까지 차이가 났으며 단주기 내부파의 경우 수온약층의 하강한 경우 수온약층이 상승한 경우보다 근거리에서 전달손실 변화가 작았다.

It is important to predict accurately reverberation level, which is a limiting factor in underwater target detection. Recently, the studies have been expanded from monostatic sonar to bistatic sonar in which source and receivers are separated. To simulate the bistatic reverberation level, the computation processes for propagation, scattering strength, and scattering cross section are different from those in monostatic case and more complex computation processes are required. Although there have been many researches for bistatic reverberation, few studies have assessed the bistatic scattering cross section which is a key factor in simulate reverberation level. In this paper, a new method to estimate the bistatic scattering cross section is suggested, which uses the area of intersection between two circles. Finally, the reverberation levels simulated with the scattering cross section estimated using the method suggested in this paper are compared with those estimated using the methods previously suggested and those measured from an acoustic measurements conducted in May 2013.

Traditional adaptive noise cancelling methods rely their performance on various interfering parameters, such as convergence speed, tracking ability, numerical stability, relative frequency characteristics between target and reverberation signals, and activity of the target. In this paper, an adaptive noise cancelling method is suggested, which Provides a successful tradeoff mon these factors. It is designed to work on the transform domain, adopts the Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process, and is implemented by the escalator algorithm. The transform domain approach supports a tradeoff between the convergence speed and numerical cost. The proposed method is verified by applying a real-data collected in the shallow waters off the east coasts of korea. It is shown that it has a good reverberation-rejection capability even for the target signal with adjacent frequency components to those of the reverberation, and its performance is invariant for the activity of the target.

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.

Simulation of sonar reverberation time series is very useful because most acoustic models are power level models and have a difficulty when performance of hardware system is evaluated under the reverberant condition. Thus, in this paper, the simulation of reverberation time series is attempted, First, normalized spectrum, whose bandwidth is varying in the frequency domain and which has zero-mean Gaussian distribution, is calculated at pre-selected receiving time. Second, reverberation levels given by underwater acoustic model are combined with normalized spectrum in the frequency domain. Finally, nonstationary sonar reverberation time series are simulated by IFT(Inverse Fourier Transform).

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.

천해에서의 저주파 단상태 잔향음 모델(L-HYREV)을 개발하였다. 음선이론에 기초한 전파모델은 해저 내로 투과되는 음파에 대한 효과를 적절하게 고려 할 수 없으므로, 해저 내 상호작용을 계산할 수 있는 전파모델이 필요하다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 RAM을 이용해서 전달손실을 계산 후, 다중경로 확장모델을 이용해서 산출한 전달손실을 보정하였다. 모델의 검증을 위하여 GSM(generic sonar model) 잔향음 모의 신호 및 실측잔향음 신호와 비교하였으며, 비교 결과 GSM 보다 L-HYREV 모델이 저주파 잔향음 예측에 적합함을 확인할 수 있다.

In a shallow water waveguide, reverberation signals and their Doppler effects form the primary limitation on sonar system performance. Therefore, in the reverberation-limited environment, it is necessary to estimate the reverberation level to be encountered under the conditions in which the sonar system is operated. In this paper, high-frequency reverberation model capable of simulating the reverberation signals received by a high-speed moving source in a range independent waveguide is suggested. In this model, eigenray information from the source to each boundary is calculated using the ray-based approach and the optimizing method for the launch angles. And the source receiving position changed by the moving source is found by a scattering path-finding algorithm, which considers the speed and direction of source and sound speed to find the path of source movement. The scattering effects from sea surface and bottom boundaries are considered by APL-UW scattering models. The model suggested in this paper is verified by a comparison to the measurements made in August 2010. Lastly, this model reflects well statistical properties of the reverberation signals.
