Abstract
This paper introduces a model-independent passive source localization method, employing asynchronous distributed hydrophones in shallow water. Based on the frequency invariability of the acoustic field, assuming the correct source range information, the warped spectra of received signals at distributed hydrophones exhibit identical shapes. Subsequently, a cost function is formulated to mutually align the warped spectra, with its maximum point indicating the source location. The proposed method can locate the source in two-dimensional horizontal space without requiring either angle- or time-synchronization information. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method.
