摘要: 使用海底反弹模式探测深海影区时, 信号受海底反射损失影响导致信噪比下降, 为目标检测带来极大困难。因此结合深海影区声传播规律建立信号模型, 分析了信号在影区信道下的多径结构特征, 并利用其单波束多径结构特点和空域波束分裂特性, 依据广义似然比检验原理设计了适用于影区目标检测的检测器。仿真结果和实测数据处理结果均表明, 所提检测器相较于传统的匹配滤波检测器, 通过对影区信号回波多径结构特征的提取与利用, 检测性能提升明显。Abstract: While using the bottom bounce mode to detect deep-sea shadow zone, the signal-to-noise ratio decreases due to the influence of the seabed reflection loss on the signal, which poses great difficulties for target detection. Therefore, this article establishes a signal model based on the propagation law of sound in deep-sea shadow zone and analyzes the multipath structural characteristics of signals in shadow channels. Based on the principle of generalized likelihood ratio test, the detector suitable for target detection in shadow zone is designed according to the single beam multipath structural characteristics and spatial beam splitting characteristics. The simulation results and real data processing results both indicate that the proposed detector has significantly improved detection performance compared to traditional matched filter detectors by extracting and utilizing the multipath structural features of the echo of the shadow zone.
