Simulation research of underwater passive direction finding technology

Abstract

As one of the indispensable technologies for underwater target detecting, underwater acoustic passive detection technology has always been a hot spot in marine system research. A vector sensor can detect underwater targets by combination with the pressure and vibration velocity information; vector sensor array can obtain higher gain than pressure array with the same number hydrophones. Vector sensor can reduce the length of the underwater sensor array and can detect underwater targets in the case of low signal to noise ratio. This is the goal that many researchers strive to solve for many years; therefore, vector sensor passive detection technology has far-reaching scientific research value.Through the verification of the simulation experiment, the azimuth estimation technique and the adaptive frequency estimation technique are feasible. By estimating the azimuth sequence and frequency sequence of the target radiation signal, the relevant information of the target can be obtained, and so it is of great significance in the research of underwater acoustic detection technology.
