Analysis of seafloor reverberation related characteristics based on sea trial data

Abstract

Ocean reverberation is one of the main factors affecting sonar performance. Studying the spatio-temporal correlation statistical characteristics of reverberation is of great significance for sonar detection and suppress reverberation, and is a problem that sonar designers have always been concerned about. This paper first gives an overview of the sea trial test; and analyzes the signal strength of the reverberation signals with different frequencies under different terrain conditions, which proves the reliability of the sea trial data. By processing the time-space correlation characteristics of the seabed reverberation data, the relationship between time-space correlation characteristics of the seabed reverberation data and the frequency and form of the transmitted signal and the seabed topography is obtained, which provides a theoretical reference for reverberation suppression and application.
