Abstract
Minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) algorithm has broken through the Rayleigh limit restrictions and makes higher resolutions possible. However, they are easily affected by complex underwater acoustic environments and are not sufficiently robust, so it is difficult to use them in real underwater systems. Time reversal mirror technology is a new method of localization, which may be effectively applied to target detection and localization. To improve its robustness, the MVDR algorithm is combined with time reversal mirroring for passive detection and location. This method makes full use of underwater multipath channel information and reduces the effects of complex underwater environments. The performance of time-reversal MVDR that is based on fixed diagonal loading and robust capon beamforming (RCB) was also studied. Simulations, water tank experiment and sea trial proved it is feasible and practical Keywords: MVDR; time reversal mirror; robust capon beamforming; passive location
