Abstract |
One of good DF(Direction Finding) methods is based on TDOA(Time Difference of Arrival) estimation when finding underwater moving target. For small DF error, high time resolution A/D(Analog-to-digital) conversion board and long baseline are needed. But the result of sea trial about close-range and high speed moving target, spatial correlation coefficient and appeared poor properties below 0.3 when hydrophone arrangement are separated over 6 ${lambda}$ because of underwater fading channel. And we also find out that the distance between hydrophone should be under 4 ${lambda}$ apart to take advantage of spatial correlation coefficient gain and performance of DF in underwater moving channel environments. |
