Design of marine environmental noise signal generation system based on MATLAB, LabVIEW and FPGA

Abstract

Marine environmental noise is a background interference field produced by various underwater sound sources. The characteristics of marine environment vary with time, place and frequency. In order to simulate the marine environmental noise signals with different time-frequency characteristics, a real-time generating system of marine environmental noise signals is designed based on MATLAB, LabVIEW and FPGA. According to the probability distribution of the measured frequency characteristics of marine environmental noise, the random signals with specific frequency response are calculated and generated in real time and continuously. The pool test results show that the signal generation system has the characteristics of stable real-time calculation and signal generation. Based on the marine environmental noise signal generation system designed in this paper, time-domain waveforms with specific spectrum characteristics are generated, which will provide technical support for the research of random signal processing algorithm under laboratory conditions and the performance analysis of underwater acoustic equipment under different marine background conditions.
