Abstract

The invention provides a center-symmetric acoustic vector circular array fast spatial spectral compression super-resolution orientation estimation method. The method comprises the steps that sensors on the upper and lower half rings of an acoustic vector circular array are arranged in a specific order respectively, and acoustic signals are collected to construct a satisfactory steering vector; then based on the average sound intensity anti-noise principle of acoustic vector sensors, a covariance matrix is constructed by using the method of combined processing of sound pressure and vibration velocity, which reduces the dimension of a vector matrix steering vector matrix and improves the anti-noise ability; a new spatial spectrum function is constructed from the spatial spectrum of a real source and a virtual source 180-degree away from the real source to carry out half-spectral search to compress the spatial spectrum of the acoustic vector circular array; and finally, through the discriminant constructed in the invention, the true sound source orientation is quickly determined. According to the invention, the spatial spectrum of the vector circular array is compressed for the firsttime, which greatly improves the operation efficiency while ensuring high resolution; and fast and efficient super-resolution orientation estimation of the acoustic vector circular array is realized.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a fast spatial spectrum compression super-resolution orientation estimation method of a center-symmetric sound vector circular array, which belongs to the field of underwater sound vector signal processing. Background technique [0002] The vector hydrophone can measure the sound pressure and particle velocity information of the sound field at the same time, and brings the ability to distinguish left and right ambiguity to the simplest line array, which can realize ambiguity-free positioning in the whole space and improve the detection and accuracy of the sound pressure array. The ability to estimate has many advantages. Circular arrays are widely used in sonar systems. Uniform circular arrays can obtain 360° all-round unambiguous azimuth information and approximately the same angular resolution, which has great advantages over uniform linear arrays. But compared with the fruitful achievements of vector linear array, there are...
