Abstract:
Highlights sonar model provides an important basis for complex target modeling. In this paper, a parameters measurement method for the far-field sonar target highlight is proposed, time reversal mirror (TRM) technology and transponder technology combined with this method. First, get the number of target highlights. Then, put transponders with the same number along underwater the target which is measured, those transponders must be close at each highlight. A wideband signal is transmitted at measuring position which is far away from target, those transponders at target side answer one by one. Record the echoes coming from target and transponders. Time-delay, amplitude, and phase-jump of highlights can be calculated by processing those echoes in TRM and matrix operations methods. It is found through simulation by MATLAB that this target highlight algorithm can accurately measure the three important parameters of highlight model in negative SNR. By getting those parameters accurately, some other parameters can be calculated, for example, target strength. Target echo can also be predicted with those parameters, it will be very useful in target strength measurement and active target stealth technology then.
