Abstract

The time-varying characteristic of shallow sea channel plays one of the most important role in the exploration of ocean. However, there is still lack of estimation model to describe the time-varying characteristics of shallow water low-frequency acoustic channels. This paper proposes a low-frequency channel model based on wave equation and ray theory to estimate the time-varying characteristics of shallow sea. Firstly, for the actual characteristics of shallow sea, suitable boundary conditions are designed to solve the wave equation. Secondly, the constraint conditions of shallow sea wave equation are optimized by combining ray theory. Then, based on the physical characteristics of shallow sea, time-delay variation and phase variation are solved by shallow wave equation. Combining bellhop propagation model with ocean disturbance model, the simulation is designed to verify the time-varying characteristic model of low-frequency shallow sea in this paper. Finally, with different propagation distance measurement experiment of sea, estimation value of time-delay variation and phase variation are confirmed, which is significant to shallow sea channel.
