Sub-antenna processing for coherence loss in underwater direction of arrival estimation.
Journal of the Acoustical Society of America 2017 October
This paper deals with the loss of coherence in underwater direction-of-arrival estimation. The coherence loss, which typically arises from dynamical ocean fluctuations and unknown environmental parameters, may take the form of a multiplicative colored random noise applied to the measured acoustic signal. This specific multiplicative noise needs to be addressed with methodological developments. This paper proposes a weighting process that locally mitigates the effects of the coherence loss. More specially, a set of coherent sub-antennas is designed from the so-called Mutual Coherence Function (MCF). The assessed source position results from the combination of each sub-antenna by using a mixed norm. Two experiments are considered in the paper: either a random noise is sampled to simulate the effect of random ocean fluctuations, or a synthetic acoustic waveguide is used in which the coherence loss is due to some multipath interferences. It is shown that the weighting process allows for a decrease in the estimation error in comparison to a Conventional Beamformer (CB).
