Abstract

In the line array sonar, the target signal was obtained after beamforming processing. The beamforming processing could improve the Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) by using array signal's spatial processing gain. But the distortion would be brought in signal characteristics under non-ideal conditions during line array beamforming in practical application, which increased the difficulty of target characteristics extraction. As an important basis for target classification and recognition, the performance of modulation characteristics detection and extraction is affected by SNR, signal bandwidth, modulation depth and other factors. In this paper, the influence of the time delay error on target characteristics was analyzed based on the conventional beamforming of linear array. And then a method with the combination of theroy and simulation is proposed to analyze the influence of plane wave assumption, azimuth estimation error and disturbance of array shape on modulation characteristics.
