정합장처리를 이용한 표적의 탐지는 다양한 종류의 간섭표적들이 존재하는 환경에서 수행될 가능성이 크며, 따라서 분해능이 높은 적응 정합장처리를 사용이 요구된다. 반면 빠르게 움직이는 고소음의 간섭표적이 존재 할 경우에는 적응정합장처리를 수행하기위한 신호단편 (snapshot) 수를 충분하게 사용할 수 없는 상황에 직면하게 된다. 제한된 신호단편을 이용하여 적응정합장처리의 CSDM (cross-spectral density matrix)을 안정적으로 추정하기 위한 목적으로 선형빔형성에서 제안되었던 광대역 STMV (steered minimum varianve) 기법을 도입하였다. MAPLE03 실험환경을 이용하여 STMV의 적응정합장처리 수치실험을 수행하고 특성을 분석하였다.

소나선배열 신호처리에 있어서 일반적으로 사용하는 빔형성기법은 환경에 대한 정보를 사용하지 않으나, 정합장처리 기법은 해양환경 정보를 사용함으로써 소음원의 추적 및 환경정보의 역산에 이용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 2001년도에 동해에서 수행된 실험 자료에 대한 정합장처리 실험과 결과에 대해서 소개한다.

Matched field processing technique is performed by considering complex underwater environments. Specially, the performance of minimum variance processor is greatly degraded by eigenvalue problem. In this paper, we propose the minimum variance matched field processor using shaping matrix. This shaping matrix makes that the input covariance matrix is invertible and enhances the desired acoustic source component. It was proved effectively range/depth localization of the proposed method with simulated data and vertical array data collected by NATO SACLANT Center north of the island of Elba off the Italian west coast.

본 논문에서는 천해 해양환경에서 이동 음원과 수직선배열을 이용한 실 해상 실험 자료를 이용하여 지음향 역산 및 정합장처리를 수행하였다. 협대역 신호를 이용하여 음원의 이동에 따른 전달손실을 계산하였고, 이를 음파전달모델을 이용한 결과와 비교하는 방식으로 역산의 목적함수를 구성함으로써 해저면 지음향 인자들의 평균적인 값을 역산할 수 있었다. 역산 결과로 얻은 지음향 인자들을 사용하여 정합장처리를 통해 음원의 이동경로를 추적함으로써 역산 결과의 타당성을 검증하였고, 이를 기존 지질 자료를 이용한 정합장처리 결과와 비교하였다.

When using a sample covariance matrix data in paucity of snapshots, adaptive matched field processing will have problem in inverting covariance matrix due to the rank deficiency. The general solutions are diagonal loading and eigenanalysis methods, but there is a significant bias in the power output. This paper presents a quantitative study of bias of power output and the performance of source localization through the simulation and the measured data analysis in fixed source case using the diagonal loading method for the minimum variance processor. Results show that the bias in power output is reduced and the performance of source localization is improved when the number of snapshots is greater than the number of array sensors.

Recently, a score-penalty method has been used for the acoustic passive tracking of marine mammals. The interesting aspect of this technique lies in the loss function, which has a penalty term representing the mismatch between the measured signal and the modeled signal, while the traditional time-domain matched-field processing is positively considering the match between them. In this study, we apply the score-penalty method into the depth estimation of a passive target with a known source waveform. Assuming deep ocean environments with uncertainties in the sound speed profile, we evaluate the score-penalty method, comparing it with the time-domain matched field processing method. We shows that the score-penalty method is more accurate than the time-domain matched field processing method in the ocean environment with weak mismatch of sound speed profile, and has better efficiency. However, in the ocean enviroment with strong mismatch of the sound speed profile, the score-penalty method also fails in the depth estimation of a target, similar to the time-domain matched-field processing method.

Weak target detection and localization in the presence of loud surface ship noise is a critical problem for matched field processing (MFP) in shallow water. For stationary sources, each signal component of received signal can be separated and interference can be suppressed using eigen space analysis schemes. However, source motion, in realistic cases, causes spreading of signal energies in their subspace. In this case, eigenvalues of target and interfere signal components are mixed and hard to be separated with usual phone space eigenvector decomposition (EVD) approaches. Our technique is based on mode space and utilizes the difference in their physical characteristics of surface and submerged sources. Performing EVD for modal cross spectral density matrix, interference components in the mode amplitude subspace can be classified and eliminated. This technique is demonstrated with synthetic data, and results are discussed.

A time-reversal mirror (TRM) is useful in diverse areas, such as reverberation ing, target echo enhancement and underwater communication. In underwater communication, the bit error rate has been improved significantly due to the increased signal-to-noise ratio by spatio-temporal focusing. This paper deals with two issues. First, the optimal number of array elements for a given environment was investigated based on the exploitation of spatial diversity. Second, an algorithm was developed to determine the optimal location of the given number of array elements. The formulation is based on a genetic algorithm maximizing the contrast between the foci and area of interest as an objective function. In addition, the developed algorithm was applied to the matched field processing with ocean experimental data for verification. The sea-going data and simulation showed almost 3 dB improvement in the output power at the foci when the array elements were optimally distributed.
