Area of Science:

  • Acoustics
  • Oceanography
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Passive source depth estimation in the deep ocean is crucial for underwater acoustics.
  • A modified Fourier transform method was previously proposed using vertical line arrays below the critical depth.
  • This method relies on interference patterns between direct and surface-reflected acoustic arrivals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To thoroughly investigate the performance and applicability limits of the modified Fourier transform-based depth estimation method.
  • To identify and analyze factors influencing the resolution and ambiguity of the transform-based depth estimate.
  • To introduce a simpler method for determining target trajectories and array requirements for accurate depth estimation.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of factors affecting resolution and ambiguity in Fourier transform-based depth estimation.
  • Development and application of a simpler, complementary depth estimation method.
  • Determination of optimal target trajectories and vertical line array configurations.

Main Results:

  • Identification of key factors influencing the accuracy of passive acoustic source depth estimation.
  • Characterization of the performance and limitations of the modified Fourier transform method.
  • Establishment of requirements for target trajectories and array geometry for reliable depth estimation.

Conclusions:

  • The modified Fourier transform method's performance is dependent on specific factors that have been identified.
  • A simpler method aids in defining conditions for effective application of acoustic source depth estimation.
  • This research provides a more comprehensive understanding and practical guidance for underwater acoustic source localization.
