Abstract:
Long-range passive source localization is possible in the deep ocean using phase-only matched autoproduct processing (POMAP) [Geroski and Dowling (2021). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 150, 171-182], an algorithm based on matched field processing that is more robust to environmental mismatch. This paper extends these prior POMAP results by analyzing the localization performance of this algorithm in the presence of environmental noise. The noise rejection performance of POMAP is assessed using both simulated and measured signal data, with noise data based on environmental noise measurements. Herein, signal and noise measurements are from the nominally one-year-long PhilSea10 ocean acoustic propagation experiment. All signals were recorded from a single moored source, placed near the ocean sound channel 129.4 km away from a nearly water-column-spanning distributed vertical line array. The source transmitted linear frequency modulated chirps with nominal bandwidth from 200 to 300 Hz. The noise measurements used in this study were collected in the months after this source stopped transmitting, and synthetic samples of noise are calculated based on the characteristics of this measured noise. The effect that noise rejection algorithms have on the source localization performance of POMAP is also evaluated, but only 1 dB of performance improvement is achieved using these.

Interference: Path Lengths
Two special sources may be considered when they are in phase. This can be easily achieved by feeding the two sources from the same source. An example would be synchronizing the two speakers by feeding them with the same source, such as the sound waves produced by a tuning fork. This setup ensures that the two sources have the same frequency and are...
