Abstract

Real-time Doppler estimation of sonar signals is of great significance to underwater communication and detection. The Hyperbolic-Frequency-Modulated (HFM) waveform-based speed spectrum estimation is one of the modern methods for underwater Doppler estimation, and this paper presents a detailed analyses of the derivation and the performance of this method. The analyzing results show the robustness of the method on multipath channels and multi-highlight targets and provide the main lobe width of the speed spectrum. Moreover, the paper examines the spectral properties of the HFM signal from the frequency-domain Doppler invariance property, which could provide insights for better understanding and utilization of this Doppler invariant waveform.
