The article describes the process of signal conditioning for examination of acoustic noise correlation properties in shallow water. Knowledge of these properties is very important for the design processes of passive and active hydroacoustic systems. This paper focuses on the above issue from the point of view of passive sonar. In sonar systems, signal processing algorithms operate on both useful acoustic signals, and accompanying noise. Quantitative estimation of the correlation properties of acoustic noise enables an accurate determination of detection conditions. This will verify the validity of certain commonly used simplified models in simulations of hydroacoustic systems. The article presents how the measurement system was constructed, and the structure of files for storing measurement data. It describes the processing algorithm developed for the measured signal conditioning. Research results are presented and discussed.
The analysis of the uncertainty of the determination of the noise source direction in the aquatic environment is presented in this paper. The type A uncertainty of the bearing algorithm was determined on the bases of multiple measurements of the hydroacoustic pressure by means of the TC4032 type hydrophones and the GPS device data. The influence of the non-linearity of the amplitude-frequency characteristic on the uncertainty of the determination of the noise source direction, was also described. The influence of water density, electromagnetic disturbances and irregular noises on the final uncertainty was determined. On the bases of the determined uncertainty components the uncertainty budget, of the determination of the angle showing the direction from which hydroacoustic waves are coming, was prepared.
