A novel method to enlarge the scanning region of a focused beamformer
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)Often focused beamforming systems use the Fresnel approximation to compute the required delays. Unfortunately, such an approximation has a validity region that is very narrow around the broadside direction. To investrgate ... -
Evaluation of low-frequency bottom backscattering strength vs grazing angle by means of multiple beamforming
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1986/06)Bottom backscattering strength was measured in deep water as a function of grazing angle in the Balearic Abyssal Plain of the Mediterranean. The measurements were made with a towed, narrowband low-frequency omnidirectional ... -
Measurement and interpretation of angular spreading from multiple boundary interactions in a shallow water channel
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997)The problem of angular spreading of sound that has undergone multiple boundary scattering (both sea surface and sea bed) in a shallow water channel is discussed. Measurements made of the horizontal spatial coherence along ... -
The ocean noise coherence matrix and its rank
(CMRE, 2019/05)An expression for the cross-spectral density matrix of ocean noise naturally separates into a Toeplitz part and a Hankel part [Harrison (2017). J. Acoust. Soc. Am. 141, 2812?2820]. The Toeplitz part is shown to be substantially ... -
Real-time expanded-band beamforming using a complex heterodyner and fast array processor
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)At the Defense Research Establishment Atlantic Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada a data aquisition sytem been engineered to monitor and beamform data from element line arrays. This system has been designed to with either towed ... -
Sonar beam-forming with an array processor in real time
(NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1979/12)A real-time sonar beam-forming system is described which consists of a minicomputer as host computer and an array processor. Beam-forming is accomplished by using the FFT algorithm in the processor. The system is also ... -
Sub-bands beam-space adaptive beamformer for port-starboard rejection in triplet sonar arrays
(CMRE, 2019/05)This paper addresses the problem of Port-Starboard (PS) beamforming for low-frequency active sonar (LFAS) with a triplet receiver array. The paper presents a new algorithm for sub-bands beam-space adaptive beamforming with ...
