Abstract
En 中文
Ray-based blind deconvolution (RBD) is a technique for estimating the source-to-receiver array channel impulse response (CIR) without prior knowledge of the source waveform. Given its diverse applications, including source-receiver range estimation and the inversion of ocean waveguide parameters, RBD has been actively studied in underwater acoustics. However, the accuracy of CIR estimation in RBD may be compromised by phase uncertainty in the source waveform, necessitating enhancements in its performance. This paper proposes a method to improve RBD performance by estimating the phase of the source waveform using an optimization algorithm. Specifically, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is employed to minimize phase estimation errors by optimizing the time delay for each receiver to maximize the beamformer output. The effectiveness of the proposed method was evaluated using two types of source signals: ship noise and linear frequency modulation (LFM), which corresponded to relatively low- and high-frequency sources, respectively. Performance comparisons with conventional RBD across various source-to-vertical line array distances revealed that the proposed method yielded more compact arrival paths with reduced time spread and a higher signal-to-noise ratio at short distances in the low-frequency band, and it consistently outperformed conventional RBD at all distances in the high-frequency band.
