Abstract:
Continuously Transmitted Frequency Modulated (CTFM) sonar transmits wideband acoustic signal, demodulates the echo signal, and calculates the target distance by acquiring the frequency of the demodulation output signal. Still objects can be accurately detected using CTFM sonar. However, moving target brings Doppler shift to the echo signal frequency, which makes the output signal frequency of CTFM sonar deviate from the accurate distance of the target. In this paper, a novel airborne sonar sensing approach is proposed. Using a modified transmitted signal, single moving target that appears in a static environment can be detected. Compared to traditional CTFM sonar, a single tone is added to the transmitted signal. The existence and radial velocity of a moving target can be calculated based on the single tone Doppler shift of the echo. Furthermore, the simultaneous kinematic information of the target can be extracted by the system algorithm. An experimental system is developed, and the result of experiments verified the feasibility of the approach.
