Abstract
The pulsed and continuous narrow-band signal enhancement is quite important for the target detection and recognition in a passive sonar system. In this paper, a novel signal enhancement approach is proposed for both pulsed and continuous narrow-band components in the passive underwater acoustic data. The short time Fourier transform (STFT) method is firstly used in the time-domain radiated noise data, and then an improved noise power spectrum density (PSD) estimation is proposed to obtain the accurate noise power by using a two-dimension (2-D) sliding window. Finally, the improved PSD is utilized to enhance both pulsed and continuous narrow-band components. The proposed method has the capability of enhancing pulsed and continuous narrow-band components with avoiding the annoying tuning of the window length. Both simulation and experimental results verify the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.
