Envelope Phase Shift Feature Extraction of Underwater Target Echo

Abstract

Aiming at the problem of target classification with different physical property parameters, the phase characteristics of echo envelope associated with different physical property parameters are studied, and the feature extraction method of the phase shift characteristics of the target echo envelope is established. The extraction method and the feature resolution performance of the phase shift characteristics of echo envelope are verified by the water-tank test of cylindrical targets with different materials and finite length. The experimental results of the underwater cylindrical target echo show that the feature of target echo envelope phase shift has significant difference with the change of target material, structure and radial scale. The phase shift feature of underwater target echo envelope has good performance for targets with different physical property parameters.
