气候变化对声学信号的影响:大气吸声是否会对鸟的歌声和蝙蝠的定位叫声造成影响?生态学和进化生物学系,图森,亚利桑那大学,1041东洛厄尔街,亚利桑那州85721 沿着生态梯度的信号差异可能会导致新物种生成。

目前的研究验证了这个假说,沿气候梯度的声音吸收的变化为声学信号的差异做出了选择,这不仅有助于理解物种的多样性,而且对了解生物如何应对气候变化也有帮助。

由于吸声会随温度、湿度和声音频率而变化,个体或物种的信号结构可能会随空间或时间上的气候变化而改变。

特别是具有较低频率、较窄带宽和较长持续时间的信号在高吸声环境中应该会更易检测到。

通过研究北美木莺和美国西南地区的蝙蝠,这项工作发现了信号结构和吸声之间存在关联的证据。

整个活动范围具有较高的平均吸收值的莺鸟更可能具有较窄带宽的歌声。

在具有较高吸收值的栖息地发现的蝙蝠种类更可能有较低频率的叫声。

此外,蝙蝠的定位叫声结构会随着季节而变化。

在具有较高吸声的雨季中,蝙蝠会使用具有较长持续时间、较低频率的叫声。

这些结果表明,尽管吸声的影响不算太大,但由于吸声的变化,信号可能会随着气候梯度发生改变。

1 绪论因为环境会影响声学和视觉信号从信号发送者到接收者的传输方式(Morton, 1975; Wiley 和Richards, 1978; Richards 和Wiley, 1980; Endler,2000),所以信号系统往往会沿生态梯度发生改变(Hunter 和Krebs,1979; Wiley, 1991; Marchetti,1993;Badyaev和Leaf,1997;McNaught and Owens, 2002;Slabbekoorn and Smith, 2002; Tobias et al., 2010)。

这种改变对于物种的形成和多样化有重要意义,因为信号方面的变化可能导致合子前隔离(West-Eberhard, 1983; Endler, 1992;Schluter 和Price, 1993; Grant 和Grant, 1996; Irwin 等,2001)。

MMSE BEAMFORMER BASED ON PARTIAL FFT DEMODULATION FOR OFDM UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATIONS

MMSE BEAMFORMER BASED ON PARTIAL FFT DEMODULATION FOR OFDM UNDERWATER ACOUSTIC COMMUNICATIONSGema Pi˜n eroInstitute of Telecommunicationsand Multimedia Applications Universitat Polit`e cnica de ValenciaValencia,Spain Email:gpinyero@iteam.upv.esAndrew C.SingerCoordinated Science Laboratory University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Urbana61801,IL,USAEmail:acsinger@ABSTRACTUnderwater Acoustic(UW A)communications have to deal with channels that exhibit widely time-spreading multipath responses, together with Doppler spreading and limited bandwidth.These features seriously limit data throughput,even for sophisticated modulation schemes.Focusing on the large time-spreading charac-teristics,we analyze in this paper an OFDM UW A system such that the channel is longer than the Cyclic Prefix(CP)used.Under this condition,and considering an array of hydrophones at the receiver, we propose in this paper a Minimum Mean Square Error(MMSE) beamformer that makes use of two partial FFTs of half the original number of subcarriers to demodulate the OFDM signal.We show that one of the two demodulated signal can be received without Inter-Symbol Interference(ISI),even for longer-than-CP channels, and that the MMSE beamformer automatically is steered to direct and reflected paths obtaining an improvement of4dB in the Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)and a reduction of2to3times the Bit Error Rate(BER)with respect to a conventional Delay-and-Sum(DS) beamformer.1Index Terms—Underwater Acoustic Communications,broad-band acoustic beamformer,OFDM.I.INTRODUCTIONUnderwater Acoustic(UW A)communication channels present a multipath model together with particular features not common to other wireless communications[1],[2].They exhibit present time variations even when the transmitter and the receiver are anchored,due to the changing sea surface (waves),and the spatial variation of the propagation velocity which strongly depends on water temperature.Figure1 shows signal propagation where the direct path is summed up with reflected paths due to multiple surface and seabed reflections.Propagation attenuation increases with frequency, resulting in near5dB/Km loss for a carrier frequency of20kHz or12dB/Km at40kHz,which limits the useful bandwidth to a few kHz.Although small compared to other communications systems,the bandwidth of the information signal is usually broadband compared to the carrier frequency.1This work has been partially supported by Spanish Government through CYCIT grant TEC2009-13741and Prog.Nac.Movilidad RRHH2011,and by Regional Government through PROMETEO/2009/013.Fig.1.Signal propagation through a multipath underwater acoustic channel.Multipath in the UW A channel can be modeled as a time-varying channel impulse response h(t,τ).If the transmitter and receiver are stationary and the coherence time is large enough,i.e.h(t,τ) h(τ),h(τ)is a linear time-invariant (LTI)multipath channel.Let us consider the equivalent discrete-time model of the received signal y(t)when sam-pled with sample period T s=1/f s.The received discrete-time signal can be expressed through the convolution sum between the transmitted signal and the multipath channely(n)=L−1l=0h(l)x(n−l)where y(n)=y(nT s),x(n)= x(nT s),and L is the length,in number of symbols,of the discrete-time channel h(n).The discrete-time model of the channel is useful for the design of the equalizer and detector at the receiver.While similar in form to Radio-Frequency multipath channels,UW A channels are widely spread in time.The large delay spread together with small bandwidth severely limits the throughput in these communication sys-tems.A long-range UW A channel can exhibit a delay spread of200-400ms depending on the propagating environment [3].Regarding the receiver complexity,extremely long chan-nels require even longer equalizers,much more complex for the multi-channel case.One way to simplify the receiver is to use a beamformer in thefirst stage of the receiver,and to process the resulting signal through a Decision-Feedback Equalizer in a second stage[4],[5].Regarding OFDM communications in UW A channels, Cyclic Prefix(CP)length should be longer than channel20th European Signal Processing Conference (EUSIPCO 2012)Bucharest, Romania, August 27 - 31, 2012delay spread to avoid Inter-Symbol Interference(ISI),which in turn requires large OFDM symbols in order to not sacrifice rate.Throughout this paper,we have focused our work on LTI UW A channels considering any Inter-Carrier Interfer-ence(ICI)due to motion negligible.While the CP length in OFDM communications has to be larger than channel length,long-range communications may be impractical due to the channel delay spread.However,if a CP shorter than the channel is used,the circular convolution property of the Discrete-Time Fourier(DFT)is no longer respected and the received signal is no longer the product of the original symbol and the channel DFT.We will model the use of shorter CP as a random error added to each subcarrier,as we will show in Section II.Using this OFDM signal and error model,we will design a Minimum Mean Square Error(MMSE)beamformer that makes use of two DFTs of half the number of subcarriers. We will study the error model for this particular design when channel time-spreading is larger than the CP.Finally,we will compare the use of the MMSE beamformer with the conventional Delay-and-Sum(DS)beamformer[6]by means of numerical simulations.II.PARTIAL FFT DEMODULATION OF THEOFDM RECEIVED SIGNALLet us consider a single channel UW A communica-tion system transmitting linear modulated symbols through OFDM.Once the inverse DFT of the baseband modulated symbols X(k)is performed,a Cyclic Prefix(CP)formed by the last L CP samples of x(n)=DFT−1[X(k)]is added to form x CP(n).In absence of noise and interference,thereceived signal y CP(n)can be expressed as:y CP(n)=x CP(n)∗h(n)=L−1l=0h(l)x CP(n−l)(1)The last N samples of y CP(n)correspond to the cir-cular convolution between x(n)and h(n)denoted by x(n)N h(n).The DFT of the circular convolution of two signals is equal to the multiplication of their respective DFTs,which means that symbols X(k)are multiplied by the complex amplitude of the corresponding subcarriers:y(n)=h(n)N x(n)DFT←→Y(k)=H(k)X(k)(2) where Y(k)is the DFT of the last N samples of y CP(n), denoted by y(n).The use of a DFT that processes separately small sets of subcarriers to improve Doppler selectivity has been recently proposed in[7].It has been shown to be computationally inexpensive,and it presents good performance for DFTs of N/4and N/8points,N being the total number of subcarriers of the OFDM symbol.In our study,Doppler selectivity is considered to have been compensated in a previous stage(by resampling the signal as,for example, in[8]),and our study has focused on the use of DFTs of N/2points to improve the Signal-to-Noise Ratio(SNR)and Bit Error Rate(BER)in longer-than-CP channels.Let us define two sequences of N/2points x1(n)and x2(n)obtained from x(n)as:x1(n)=x(n),n=0,...,N/2−1(3)x2(n)=x(n+N/2),n=0,...,N/2−1(4)that is,x1(n)is formed by thefirst N/2points of OFDM sequence x(n)and x2(n)is formed by the last N/2points. Consider now the definition of two similar sequences over the received OFDM signal y(n)once the CP has been dropped,that is,y1(n)=y(n),n=0,...,N/2−1and y2(n)=y(n+N/2),n=0,...,N/2−1.Given the expressions of x1(n)and x2(n)in(3)-(4), signal x1(n)can be considered as an OFDM signal whose prefix is formed by the last L CP samples of x2(n),whereas signal x2(n)is considered to have a prefix formed by the last L CP samples of x1(n).One way to constrain x1(n)and x2(n)to fulfill the circu-lar convolution property is to use a particular pilot sequence X(k)such that its inverse DFT holds x1(n)=x2(n). This implies that X(k)=DFT[x(n)]must be null at odd values of k.Assuming that x1(n)=x2(n),equations(5)-(7)summarize the different relationships between sequences and their corresponding DFTs,considering in all sequences a CP larger or equal to the channel length(L CP L):y(n)=x(n)N h(n)DFT←→Y(k)=X(k)H N(k)(5) y1(n)=x1(n)N/2 h(n)DFT←→Y1(k)=X1(k)H N2(k)(6) y2(n)=x2(n)N/2 h(n)DFT←→Y2(k)=X2(k)H N2(k)(7) where X1(k)=DFT[x1(n)],X2(k)=DFT[x2(n)], H N(k)is the DFT of N points of h(n),and H N2(k)is the corresponding DFT of N/2points of h(n).Both DFTs are related through H N2(k)=H N(2k),k=0,1,...N/2−1, as long as L<N/2.It can be stated that y1(n)and y2(n) are the respective circular convolution of x1(n)and x2(n) with channel h(n).In the case of channels spreading further than the CP but less than N/2,that is,L CP<L and L<N/2,the last N samples of the received sequence y CP(n)given by (1)no longer represent the circular convolution between x(n)and h(n):thefirst L−1−L CP samples of y(n) are different from the corresponding ones of h(n)N x(n), whereas the last N−(L−1−L CP)are equal.The same effect can be observed on y1(n).However y2(n)does fulfill the property in(7)because the cyclic prefix of x2(n)is formed by sequence x1(n)and extends over N/2.Therefore, y2(n)can be expressed as in(7),whereas y1(n)is givenE . . .

length L −1−L CP .In fact,q (n )is the Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI)produced by the multipath channel that is not cancelled because of L >L CP .The corresponding DFT of y 1(n )can then be expressed as:Y 1(k )=X 1(k )H N 2(k )+Q (k )(8)where Q (k )is the DFT of N/2points of the sequence q (n ).It has to be noted that the ISI error q (n )is confined to the first L −1−L CP samples in time,whereas Q (k )is spread over all frequencies from k =0to k =N/2−1.In the next section we will make use of the different expressions of Y 1(k )and Y 2(k )to design an MMSE beamformer at the receiver avoiding the requirement of knowing the angles of arrival of the multiple paths.III.MINIMUM MEAN SQUARED ERROR (MMSE)BEAMFORMER BASED ON PARTIAL FFT In Section II,the model of a single OFDM-UW A channel has been stated.We introduce now a multi-channel commu-nication system that makes use of multiple hydrophones at the receiver.From Figure 1,it can be assumed that different paths arrive to the hydrophone array from different angles,called Directions-of-Arrival (DoA),and are denoted by θ.The DoA is defined as the angle of arrival with respect to the line of the hydrophones for a linear array.Let us assume that a coarse estimate of the DoA of the direct path in Figure 1is calculated (for example,by means of 2-D frequency-θspectral estimation of the received data),and denote that direction as θd .The block diagram of the proposed scheme is depicted in Figure 2where a (θd ,k )is the steering vector [6]for DoA θd and frequency k ,and a linear array of M hydrophones has been considered.The M components of the steering vector a (θd ,k )depend on the array geometry,the nominal frequency,the propagation velocity,and on θd .Signal y mCPis the signal recorded at the m -th hydrophone such that (1):y mCP=x CP ∗h m (n )+v m (n )(9)where v m (n )is an additive complex white Gaussian noiseof zero mean and variance σ2n,and h m (n )is the channel impulse response between the transmitter and the m -th hydrophone.As it can be seen from Figure 2,signals y mCPare reduced to their last N samples by dropping the Cyclic Prefix.They are subsequently split in two to compute two partial DFTs of N/2points obtaining sequences Y m 1(k )and Y m 2(k ),for k =1,...,N/2.From this point on,hydrophone outputs are collected together at each k in order to form the following spatial vectors:Y i (k )= Y 1i (k ),...,Y m i (k ),...,Y M i (k ) Ti =1,2(10)where superscript (·)T stands for transposed.Then,a H (θd ,k )Y 2(k )is used as the reference signal,whereas Y 1(k )is filtered by the narrowband beamformer,w (k )=[w 1(k ),...,w m (k ),...,w M (k )]T .The MMSE beamformer of Figure 2for frequency k can be expressed as :w MMSE (k )=min wE [|E (k )|2](11)where E (k )is the error signal formed as:E (k )=a H (θd ,k )Y 2(k )−w H (k )Y 1(k )(12)where superscript (·)H stands for transposed and conjugated.Substituting equation (12)into (11),the MMSE weights can be calculated as:w MMSE (k )=R −1Y 1(k )R Y 1Y 2(k )a (θd ,k )(13)where R Y 1(k )is the autocorrelation matrix of vector Y 1(k )and R Y 1Y 2(k )is the correlation matrix between vectors Y 1(k )and Y 2(k ).Both matrices can be estimated from a number N T M of respective snapshots assuming stationary signals within a period N T ·N ·T s seconds.The general expression of the estimated correlation matrix for column vectors Y i (k ),Y j (k )is given by:R Y i Y j (k )=1N T N T n =1Y (n )i (k )Y (n )j (k )H (14)where Y (n )(k )denotes the spatial vector formed by k -th DFT coefficients calculated from the OFDM symbolpresented at the hydrophones at time n .Considering now the models of Y 1(k )and Y 2(k )given in (8)and (7)respectively,and assuming that pilot signals X 1(k )=X 2(k )have unit variance and are uncorrelated with all the noise signals V m 1(k )and V m 2(k ),and with error Q (k ),the MMSE beamformer (13)is formed by the following terms:w MMSE=(R H+R V1+R Q)−1R H a(θd)(15) where R H=E[H(k)H H(k)]is the autocorrelation ma-trix of the channel spatial vector,whose components are the channel values at each hydrophone,H(k)=[H1(k),...,H M(k)]T.R V1is the autocorrelation matrix ofnoise spatial vector V1(k)=[V11(k),...,V M1(k)]T,and R Q is the autocorrelation matrix of spatial error vector due to ISI,Q(k).The MMSE beamformer minimizes the difference between the reference signal,a H(θd,k)Y2(k)and the beamformer output.As the main difference between both signals is due to the noise and the ISI Q(k),the resulting beamformer will try to reduce both contributions.To better understand its behavior,let us assume a simple UWA channel with only direct and reflected paths,denoted by h d(n)and h r(n)respectively.Thus,spatial channel vector can be expressed as H=a(θd)H d+a(θr)H r,where the dependence on k has been dropped for the sake of clarity.As H d and H r can be assumed uncorrelated,the autocorrelation matrix of H can be expressed as:R H=E[|H d|2]a(θd)a H(θd)+E[|H r|2]a(θr)a H(θr)(16) Substituting(16)into the last term of(15)we obtain:R H a(θd)=M E[|H d|2]a(θd)+αM E[|H r|2]a(θr),(17) where a H(θd)a(θd)=M andα=a H(θr)a(θd)/M is a complex scalar such that|α| 1.Substituting(17)in(15), the MMSE beamformer can be expressed as:w MMSE=M(R H+R V1+R Q)−1[E[|H d|2]a(θd)+ +αE[|H r|2]a(θr)](18) The statistical analysis of MMSE beamformer is out of the scope of this paper,but from expression(18)it can be seen that MMSE beamformer has a direct dependence on both direct and reflected paths,avoiding a wrong performance when dealing with multipath(correlated)signals.IV.NUMERICAL SIMULATIONSIn this section the performance of the proposed MMSE beamformer for a multichannel UW A OFDM communi-cation system that makes use of N=512subcarriers is evaluated.The channel is composed of three different diffuse paths(similar to the plot of Figure1),a direct signal arriving fromθd=90◦and spreading fromτ=0·T sym to τ=7·T sym,afirst reflected signal arriving fromθr1=115◦and spreading in time fromτ=6·T sym toτ=L·T sym, and a second reflected signal arriving fromθr2=45◦and spreading in time fromτ=16·T sym toτ=L·T sym, where L is the total length of the channel in symbols and T sym is the PSK symbol period.Channel length varies in theChannel LengthOutput SNR − Input SNR = 25 dBFig.3.SNR for thefirst hydrophone(without beamforming), and after MMSE and DS beamforming.Units are in dB.range L⊆(32,54)·T sym.Notice that both reflected paths are simulated to be of length L,since,in a realistic environment, usually both seabed and wave reflections cause symbol time-spreading.Direct and reflected paths have individual taps h(τ)modeled as independent complex Gaussian of zero mean and unit variance atτ=l·T sym.A source of BPSK pilot symbols X(k)such that x1(n)= x2(n)is transmitted using OFDM with afixed Cyclic Prefix length of32symbols.The pilot sequence is used as a probe to initially steer the beamformers.A linear array of M=10hydrophones with half wavelength spacing has been used and white Gaussian noise has been added at each hydrophone resulting in a received SNR of25dB. Finally,MMSE beamformer of Section III and Delay-and-Sum(DS)beamformer given by w DS(k)=a H(θd,k)have been calculated for300independent runs.Figure3shows the output SNR for thefirst hydrophone (without beamformer)and after MMSE and DS beamform-ing respectively.It can be seen that the SNR obtained by the MMSE is3-4dB higher than DS and8dB higher than input SNR(first sensor)for the whole range of channel lengths L. This behavior agrees with the Array Gain(AG)expected for an array of10sensors separated d=λ/2[3],once the SNR has been maximized.Another interesting feature is the capacity of the beam-former to reduce the contribution of the channel components outside the CP.Figure4shows the energy ratio between channel taps allocated outside the CP and those placed within the CP forfiltered MMSE and DS channels and for the chan-nel seen at thefirst hydrophone.DS decreases this ratio in2 dB and MMSE only in1dB,but considering that reflected paths produce all the outside-CP energy,and that MMSE has a significant increase in SNR due to their contributions,it can be stated that MMSE is actually decreasing the energy placed outside CP with respect to the original channel. Finally,the Bit Error Rate(BER)has been calculated for100independent runs.For each run,2.5·104uncoded−−−−−−−Channel LengthOut −to −within −CP Energy ratioFig.4.Energy ratio between channel taps outside the CP and those placed within the CP:original (first hydrophone)and after MMSE and DS beamforming.Units are in dB.bits have been mapped into QPSK symbols and have been transmitted by means of 26OFDM symbols.For all symbols,20subcarriers at each side have not been used forming a guard band of null content.Previously,a probe formed by 12pilot OFDM symbols has been used to design the MMSE beamformer.From the probe,estimated channel coefficients ˆH(k )have been calculated for MMSE and DS filtered signals,and for the signal received at the first hydrophone as well.As the pilot sequence is such that X (k )=0for oddfrequencies,estimated coefficients ˆH(k )have been directly obtained only for even k .Afterwards,coefficients ˆH(k )for odd k have been calculated through linear interpolation.Figure 5shows the BER obtained for two different channel lengths,L =35and L =50.Both figures show a reduction of the BER when using MMSE instead of DS beamforming,achieving a significant decrease of 3-4times for high SNRs.V .CONCLUSIONAn MMSE beamformer based on two partial DFTs of N/2subcarriers has been proposed for improving the received SNR and BER when dealing with widely time-spreading UWA channels.A simple analysis for one direct and one reflected path have shown that MMSE beamformer is auto-matically steered to both DoAs,whereas conventional DS only enhances the direct path.Numerical simulations have confirmed this benefit obtaining BER reductions of 2to 4times depending on the received SNR and the channel length.VI.REFERENCES[1]M.Stojanovic and J.Preisig,“Underwater acoustic communi-cation channels:Propagation models and statistical characteri-zation,”Communications Magazine,IEEE ,vol.47,no.1,pp.84–89,January 2009.[2] A.Singer,J.Nelson,and S.Kozat,“Signal processing forunderwater acoustic communications,”Communications Mag-azine,IEEE ,vol.47,no.1,pp.90–96,January 2009.[3]T.Yang,“A study of spatial processing gain in underwateracoustic communications,”Oceanic Engineering,IEEE Journal of ,vol.32,no.3,pp.689–709,july 2007.101010EbN0 (dB)BER(a)Channel length,L =35101010EbN0 (dB)BER(b)Channel length,L =50Fig.5.BER obtained for OFDM modulated QPSK symbols and different channel lengths.Equal CP length of L CP =32symbols has been used for both channels.[4]M.Stojanovic,J.Catipovic,and J.Proakis,“Reduced-complexity simultaneous beamforming and equalization for underwater acoustic communications,”in OCEANS ’93.En-gineering in Harmony with Ocean.Proceedings ,oct 1993,pp.III426–III431vol.3.[5]P.-P.Beaujean and L.LeBlanc,“Adaptive array processing forhigh-speed acoustic communication in shallow water,”Oceanic Engineering,IEEE Journal of ,vol.29,no.3,pp.807–823,july 2004.[6] D.H.Johnson and D.E.Dudgeon,Array signal processing:Concepts and techniques .Prentice-Hall,Signal Processing Series,1993.[7]S.Yerramalli,M.Stojanovic,and U.Mitra,“Partial fft demodu-lation:A detection method for doppler distorted ofdm systems,”in Signal Processing Advances in Wireless Communications (SPAWC),2010IEEE Eleventh International Workshop on ,June 2010,pp.1–5.[8]L.Baosheng,Z.Shengli,M.Stojanovic,L.Freitag,and P.Wil-lett,“Non-uniform doppler compensation for zero-padded ofdm over fast-varying underwater acoustic channels,”in OCEANS 2007-Europe ,June 2007,pp.1–6.。

数字语音信号处理教案

数字语音信号处理教案

数字语音信号处理实验指导书前言语音信号处理是研究用数字信号处理技术和语音学知识对语音信号进行处理的新兴的学科,是目前发展最为迅速的信息科学研究领域的核心技术之一。

通过语音传递信息是人类最重要、最有效、最常用和最方便的交换信息形式。

同时,语言也是人与机器之间进行通信的重要工具,它是一种理想的人机通信方式,因而可为信息处理系统建立良好的人机交互环境,进一步推动计算机和其他智能机器的应用,提高社会的信息化程度。

语音信号处理是一门新兴的学科,同时又是综合性的多学科领域和涉及面很广的交叉学科。

虽然从事这一领域研究的人员主要来自信号与信息处理及计算机应用等学科,但是它与语音学、语言学、声学、认知科学、生理学、心理学等许多学科也有非常密切的联系。

20世纪60年代中期形成的一系列数字信号处理的理论和算法,如数字滤波器、快速傅立叶变换(FFT)等是语音信号数字处理的理论和技术基础。

随着信息科学技术的飞速发展,语音信号处理取得了重大的进展:进入70年代之后,提出了用于语音信号的信息压缩和特征提取的线性预测技术(LPC),并已成为语音信号处理最强有力的工具,广泛应用于语音信号的分析、合成及各个应用领域,以及用于输入语音与参考样本之间时间匹配的动态规划方法;80年代初一种新的基于聚类分析的高效数据压缩技术—矢量量化(VQ)应用于语音信号处理中;而用隐马尔可夫模型(HMM)描述语音信号过程的产生是80年代语音信号处理技术的重大发展,目前HMM已构成了现代语音识别研究的重要基石。

近年来人工神经网络(ANN)的研究取得了迅速发展,语音信号处理的各项课题是促进其发展的重要动力之一,同时,它的许多成果也体现在有关语音信号处理的各项技术之中。

为了深入理解语音信号数字处理的基础理论、算法原理、研究方法和难点,根据数字语音信号处理教学大纲,结合课程建设的需求,我们编写了本实验参考书。

本本参考书针对教学大纲规定的四个研究设计型实验,每个实验给出了参考程序,目的是起一个抛砖引玉的作用,学生在学习过程中,可以针对某一个实验进行延伸的创新学习,比如说,语音端点的检测、语音共振峰提取、基于HMM或DTW的有限词汇或大词汇的特定人、非特定人的语音识别、识别率的提高(如何提高有噪环境下的识别率)、以及编码问题等,同时在学习中还可深入思考如何将有关的方法在嵌入式系统或DSP 下的实现问题等。

Image Alignment and Stitching: A Tutorial1
Richard Szeliski Last updated, December 10, 2006 Technical Report MSR-TR-2004-92
This tutorial reviews image alignment and image stitching algorithms. Image alignment algorithms can discover the correspondence relationships among images with varying degrees of overlap. They are ideally suited for applications such as video stabilization, summarization, and the creation of panoramic mosaics. Image stitching algorithms take the alignment estimates produced by such registration algorithms and blend the images in a seamless manner, taking care to deal with potential problems such as blurring or ghosting caused by parallax and scene movement as well as varying image exposures. This tutorial reviews the basic motion models underlying alignment and stitching algorithms, describes effective direct (pixel-based) and feature-based alignment algorithms, and describes blending algorithms used to produce seamless mosaics. It closes with a discussion of open research problems in the area.

摘要:由从具有高时间分辨率的采样值所组合而成的帧所表示的多声道信号的所选声道,当表示该所选声道的中间分辨率表示的波形的波形参数表示被推导出来时,该所选声道可以被编码成具有较高质量的形式;该波形参数表示包括具有比采样值的时间分辨率要低并且比帧重复率所定义的时间分辨率要高的时间分辨率的中间波形参数的序列。

具有中间分辨率的波形参数表示可以用于对重建声道进行成形,以获得具有与该所选原始声道的信号包络十分接近的信号包络的声道。

该成形过程是在比逐帧处理的时间刻度要短的时间刻度上执行,因此可以提高该重建声道的质量。

另一方面,该成形时间刻度比采样值的时间刻度要大,因此可以显著地降低波形参数表示所需的数据总量。

基于回音壁模式光学微腔的细胞内传感

基于回音壁模式光学微腔的细胞内传感

基于回音壁模式光学微腔的细胞内传感基于回音壁模式光学微腔的细胞内传感摘要:光学微腔作为一种新型的生物传感器,在生命科学中得到了广泛的应用,其基于回音壁模式的性质使得它可以实现高灵敏、高效率、非侵入式的细胞内传感。

本文将以回音壁模式光学微腔为核心,介绍其在细胞内传感方面的应用研究进展和主要应用场景。

首先,我们将介绍光学微腔回音壁模式的原理和特点,以及其与细胞生物学的关系。

接着,我们将详细讨论基于回音壁模式光学微腔的细胞内传感技术,包括气体、温度、压力、形态、质量、折射率等多项细胞内参数的测量原理和方法。

最后,我们将对该领域的研究现状和未来发展方向进行分析和展望。

关键词:光学微腔;回音壁模式;细胞内传感;气体;温度;压力;形态;质量;折射率引言:随着生命科学研究的深入和发展,对细胞内过程和环境的研究需求越来越迫切。

传统的分析方法需要对细胞进行破坏性取样分析,使得无法实时、动态地监测细胞内环境变化的情况。

因此,如何实现高灵敏、高效率、非侵入式的细胞内传感成为了一个重要的研究课题。

光学微腔作为一种新型的生物传感器,可以通过与物质相互作用而改变光场,从而实现对物质进行测量和传感。

其中,基于回音壁模式的光学微腔由于具有高灵敏度、高分辨率、免标记、实时监测等优点,被广泛应用于细胞内传感领域。

回音壁模式光学微腔的原理和特点光学微腔是一种光学共振器,在其内部,光波与微腔壁面多次反射形成驻波,即回音壁模式。

光子在光学微腔壁上来回反射的过程中,会受到微腔壁材料的光学性质影响,使得光子的相位和振幅发生变化。

这种光信号的微弱变化可以通过光纤耦合器和高灵敏光探测器测量,从而实现对光学微腔内环境参数的测量。

其中,回音壁模式是光学微腔的核心特点之一。

回音壁模式由于存在大量的回波,可以将光信号已在频域表示,从而实现高分辨率和高灵敏度的高精度测量。

此外,光学微腔还具有免标记、实时监测、高可重复性等优点,使得它成为了一种非常实用的细胞内传感器。

声学成像算法是一种基于声波在物体内部传播的原理,通过对声波的接收和处理来实现对物体内部结构的无损检测和成像的技术。

声学成像算法的原理主要基于波动方程和声学逆问题,通过求解声波在物体内部传播的方程,以及对接收到的声波信号进行处理,从而实现对物体内部结构的成像。

声学成像技术的发展经历了从传统的基于射线追踪的方法到现代的基于数值模拟和机器学习的方法的转变。

近年来,随着计算机技术的快速发展,声学成像算法在医学成像、工业检测、地质勘探等领域得到了广泛应用。

在医学成像领域,声学成像算法可以用于实现对心脏、血管等内部结构的成像,为临床诊断提供重要依据。

在工业检测领域,声学成像算法可以用于检测材料内部的缺陷和裂纹,提高产品质量。

在地质勘探领域,声学成像算法可以用于探测地下资源,提高勘探效果。

尽管声学成像算法在实际应用中取得了显著成果,但仍然面临一些技术挑战,如信号处理、噪声抑制、成像分辨率等。

limitations of the given acoustic micro-scope.An A-mode display contains amplitude and phase/polarity information as a function of time offlight at a single point in the X-Y plane.See Figure1-Example of A-mode Display.IPC-035-1 Figure1Example of A-mode Display2.2B-mode Acoustic data collected along an X-Z or Y-Z plane versus depth using a reflective acoustic microscope.A B-mode scan contains amplitude and phase/polarity information as a function of time offlight at each point along the scan line.A B-mode scan furnishes a two-dimensional(cross-sectional)description along a scan line(X or Y).See Figure2-Example of B-mode Display.IPC-035-2 Figure2Example of B-mode Display(bottom half of picture on left)2.3Back-Side Substrate View Area(Refer to Appendix A,Type IV)The interface between the encapsulant and the back of the substrate within the outer edges of the substrate surface.2.4C-mode Acoustic data collected in an X-Y plane at depth(Z)using a reflective acoustic microscope.A C-mode scan contains amplitude and phase/polarity information at each point in the scan plane.A C-mode scan furnishes a two-dimensional(area)image of echoes arising from reflections at a particular depth(Z).See Figure3-Example of C-mode Display.1IPC/JEDEC J-STD-035April1999IPC-035-3 Figure3Example of C-mode Display2.5Through Transmission Mode Acoustic data collected in an X-Y plane throughout

uses one transducer as both the pulser and receiver. (This is also known as a pulse/echo system.)See Figure5-Diagram of a Reflective Acoustic Microscope System.2.12Through Transmission Acoustic Microscope An acoustic microscope that transmits ultrasound completely through the sample from a sending transducer to a receiver on the opposite side.See Figure6-Diagram of a Through Transmis-sion Acoustic Microscope System.2April1999IPC/JEDEC

packages or standards,including packages with delamination and packages without delamination,for use during equipment setup.3.4Sample holder for pre-positioning samples.The holder should keep the samples from moving during the scan and maintain planarity.4PROCEDUREThis procedure is generic to all acoustic microscopes.For operational details related to this procedure that apply to a spe-cific model of acoustic microscope,consult the manufacturer’s operational manual.4.1Equipment Setup4.1.1Select the transducer with the highest useable ultrasonic frequency,subject to the limitations imposed by the media thickness and acoustic characteristics,package configuration,and transducer availability,to analyze the interfaces of inter-est.The transducer selected should have a low enough frequency to provide a clear signal from the interface of interest.The transducer should have a high enough frequency to delineate the interface of interest.Note:Through transmission mode may require a lower frequency and/or longer focal length than reflective mode.Through transmission is effective for the initial inspection of components to determine if defects are present.4.1.2Verify setup with the reference packages or standards(see3.3above)and settings that are appropriate for the trans-ducer chosen in4.1.1to ensure that the critical parameters at the interface of interest correlate to the reference standard uti-lized.4.1.3Place units in the sample holder in the coupling medium such that the upper surface of each unit is parallel with the scanning plane of the acoustic transducer.Sweep air bubbles away from the unit surface and from the bottom of the trans-ducer head.4.1.4At afixed distance(Z),align the transducer and/or stage for the maximum reflected amplitude from the top surface of the sample.The transducer must be perpendicular to the sample surface.4.1.5Focus by maximizing the amplitude,in the A-mode display,of the reflection from the interface designated for imag-ing.This is done by adjusting the Z-axis distance between the transducer and the sample.4.2Perform Acoustic Scans4.2.1Inspect the acoustic image(s)for any anomalies,verify that the anomaly is a package defect or an artifact of the imaging process,and record the results.(See Appendix A for an example of a check sheet that may be used.)To determine if an anomaly is a package defect or an artifact of the imaging process it is recommended to analyze the A-mode display at the location of the anomaly.4.2.2Consider potential pitfalls in image interpretation listed in,but not limited to,Appendix B and some

encapsulated components for the existence of delaminations,cracks,and voids.This technique has limitations that include the following: LIMITATION REASONAcoustic microscopy has difficulty infinding small defects if the package is too thick.The ultrasonic signal becomes more attenuated as a function of two factors:the depth into the package and the transducer fre-quency.The greater the depth,the greater the attenuation.Simi-larly,the higher the transducer frequency,the greater the attenu-ation as a function of depth.There are limitations on the Z-axis(axial)resolu-tion.This is a function of the transducer frequency.The higher the transducer frequency,the better the resolution.However,the higher frequency signal becomes attenuated more quickly as a function of depth.There are limitations on the X-Y(lateral)resolu-tion.The X-Y(lateral)resolution is a function of a number of differ-ent variables including:•Transducer characteristics,including frequency,element diam-eter,and focal length•Absorption and scattering of acoustic waves as a function of the sample material•Electromechanical properties of the X-Y stageIrregularly shaped packages are difficult to analyze.The technique requires some kind offlat reference surface.Typically,the upper surface of the package or the die surfacecan be used as references.In some packages,cambered packageedges can cause difficulty in analyzing defects near the edgesand below their surfaces.Edge Effect The edges cause difficulty in analyzing defects near the edge ofany internal features.IPC/JEDEC J-STD-035April1999

Experimental Demonstration of Underwater Acoustic

Experimental Demonstration of Underwater Acoustic

Experimental Demonstration of Underwater Acoustic Communication by Vector SensorsAijun Song,Member,IEEE,Ali Abdi,Senior Member,IEEE,Mohsen Badiey,Member,IEEE,and Paul HurskyAbstract—Acoustic communication often relies on a large size array with multiple spatially separated hydrophones to deal with the challenging underwater channel.This poses limitation to its application in compact size underwater platforms.In this paper, acoustic communication by vector sensors is demonstrated by the data collected during a high frequency acoustic experiment,where a vector sensor array was drifting in the ocean.It is shown that the multichannel receiver using a single vector sensor can offer sig-nificant size reduction for coherent acoustic communication at the carrier frequency of12kHz,compared with a pressure sensor line array.Further,the performance difference between vector sen-sors and pressure sensors varies at communication ranges.At close ranges(up to160m),both a single vector sensor and a vector sensor array can offer significant performance gain compared with the pressure sensor array.At longer ranges(up to1080m),the single vector sensor has the same performance with the pressure sensor array,on average.The vector sensor array consistently provides gain at all ranges over the pressure sensor array since additional information of the acousticfield is utilized by vector sensors. Index Terms—Underwater acoustic communication,time re-versal,vector sensor.I.I NTRODUCTIONU NDERWATER acoustic communication is critical to a number of civilian and scientific missions in the ocean, for example navigation and communication for underwater au-tonomous vehicles(AUVs).However,the underwater channel is challenging for digital communication[1].To deal with significant multipath and fast channelfluctuations,reception diversity from spatially separated hydrophones is often em-ployed to achieve acceptable performance.Readers can refer to [2]–[4]for multichannel decision feedback equalization(DFE) and[5]–[10]for time reversal methods as design examples. These designs often lead to the usage of a large size array, which might be impossible to accommodate at compact under-Manuscript received June09,2010;revised January15,2011;accepted March16,2011.Date of publication June16,2011;date of current version July 01,2011.This work was supported by the Office of Naval Research(ONR) Code321OA(Grant N00014-01-1-0114)and the National Science Foundation (NSF)(Grant CCF-0830204and CCF-0830190).Part of the content has been presented at the OCEANS’08meeting,Quebec,QC,Canada,September 15–18,2008.Associate Editor:S.Zhou.A.Song and M.Badiey are with College of Earth,Ocean,and Environment, University of Delaware,Newark,DE19716USA(e-mail:ajsong@).

Motivated by the potential applications of vector sensors in underwater communication,statistical correlation models for acoustic vector sensor arrays have been developed in[21].In this paper,we use the experimental data to demonstrate the usefulness of velocity channels for acoustic communication. Both a single vector sensor and an array of vector sensors are investigated for coherent acoustic communication using exper-imental data.The paper is organized as follows.System equa-tions for communication by vector sensors are briefly reviewed in Section II.Channel properties and computer simulations for the usage of vector sensors in coherent underwater communica-tion are discussed in Section III.Experimental demonstration of the concept is provided in Section IV and concluding remarks are given in Section V.II.S YSTEM E QUATIONSIn this section,basic system equations for data detection via a vector sensor introduced in[22]are briefly reviewed.To demon-strate the basic concepts of how both the vector and scalar com-ponents of the acousticfield can be utilized for data reception, we consider a simple system with one transducer and one vector sensor.As shown in Fig.1,the vector sensor denoted as a black square measures the pressure and the,and components of the particle velocity.A.Pressure and Velocity Channels and NoiseThere are four channels in Fig.1:the pressure channel,rep-resented by a straight dashed line,and three pressure-equiva-0364-9059/$26.00©2011IEEElent velocity channels ,and ,shown by curved dashed lines.To de fine ,and ,we first de fine the particle ve-locities,,and .According to the linearized equation for time-harmonic waves,the ,and components of the ve-locity at the frequency are given by [23](1)where is the density of the fluid and .Equation (1)states that the velocity in a certain direction is proportional to the spatial pressure gradient in that direction [23].The as-sociated pressure-equivalent velocity channels are de fined as,and ,which give(2)where is the acoustic wavenumber and is the sound speed.The additive ambient noise pressure at the receiver is shown by in Fig.1.Similar to (1),the ,and components of ambient noise velocities are,and ,respec-tively.So we can obtain the pressure-equivalent ambient noisevelocities as(3)B.Input–Output System EquationsAccording to Fig.1,the received pressure signal in response to the signal transmitted from the transmitter can be written as .Here stands for convolution in time and is the pressure channel impulse response.We also de-fine the pressure-equivalent received velocity signals as,and .Based on (2)and by taking the spatial gradient with respect to,and axes,we obtain key system equations(4)Note that the four output signals are measured at a collocated point in space.With the assumption that the noise is spher-ically isotropic,the noise terms in (4)are uncorrelated [14].In addition to the noise correlation property,the arrival struc-ture and correlation functions of the channels are relevant to acoustic communication performance.As shown by the numer-ical acoustic simulations in [19],[22],the pressure channel and the velocity channels can provide a new form of diversity,sim-ilar to an array of spatially separated pressure sensors.There-fore,the pressure source and vector sensor in Fig.1have the po-Fig.1.A 14vector sensor communication system with a sound source anda vector sensor

single-input–multiple-output (SIMO)system.In the next section,relevant channel characteristics are reported including delay spread,noise correlation,and channel correla-tion from experimental data.III.M EASURED C HANNEL C HARACTERISTICSDuring a high frequency Makai acoustic communication ex-periment (MakaiEx)conducted west off the Kauai Island,HI,in September and October of 2005[24],a five element Wilcoxon array was deployed multiple times.The measured characteris-tics of particle velocity channels are presented in this section.The performance of particle velocity channels in digital commu-nication is investigated by computer simulations to gain some initial insight in this section.Performance obtained from at-sea experiments will be discussed in Section IV.A.Channel Measurements During MakaiExEach element of the Wilcoxon vector sensor array had three velocity-meters that were sensitive only along a speci fic direc-tion,besides an embedded omnidirectional pressure sensor [15].Therefore,each vector sensor had four channels and generated four data streams:one pressure channel and three ,and components of the particle velocity.The length of each vector sensor was 6.6cm,and the element spacing (center-to-center distance)was 10cm.In one deployment on September 23,2005,a bottom mounted acoustic source continuously transmitted a series of communication signals at the carrier frequency of12kHz.The water depth at the source was about 100m and the source depth was about 95m.The vector sensor array was at-tached to A-frame steel cable of the drifting R/V Kilo Moana .The array was considered vertical since a 200pound weight was attached to the end of the array cable.The top element is referred to as the first.The fourth element,referred to as the bottom ele-ment,was about 40m below the sea surface.The fifth element did not function properly during the experiment.During the ex-periment,the R/V Kilo Moana was drifting in deeper water.As mentioned,a pressure source and a vector sensor can form a 14SIMO communication system,similar to four pressure channels of four vector sensors.Note the four channels of a vector sensor are colocated at a single point in space,whereas the four pressure channels have an aperture of 30cm.In what follows,channel characteristics and receiver performance of these two systems are compared.Fig.2shows an example of the impulse response functions obtained from the field data.AFig.2.Normalized amplitudes of the measured impulse responses(a)from the pressure channel,-velocity,-velocity,and-velocity channels of thefirst sensor; and(b)from the four pressure channels of the array.pseudorandom binary phase-shift keying(BPSK)signal at the carrier frequency of12kHz was used to probe the acoustic channel during the experiment.The symbol rate of the BPSK signal was6kilosymbols/s and the utilized bandwidth was6 kHz.The impulse response was obtained by the least squares channel estimation algorithm.For this particular data set,the source–receiver range was about20m.The range was calcu-lated based on the ship GPS data and source position.As shown in Fig.2(a),the-,-,and-particle velocity channels had an arrival structure similar to the pressure channel.However,later arrivals of and particle velocity channels were weaker.This resulted in smaller root-mean-square(RMS)delay spreads,de-fined as[25](5) where is a discrete,baseband impulse response sampled at a period of.Specifically,the delay spread of the pressure channel was3.9ms,whereas those of the,,and chan-nels were4.6,2.0,and2.6ms,respectively.Considering the 30-cm aperture of the pressure sensor line array,the four pres-sure channel impulse responses showed similarity among them-selves,as demonstrated in Fig.2(b).The delay spread of the four pressure channels were3.7,4.3,5.2,and4.6ms,respectively. Because a small delay spread corresponds to less intersymbol interference(ISI),the-and-velocity channels might offer better communication results than the pressure channels[19]. Besides the delay spread,channel/noise correlations are also relevant to the receiver performance.Table I shows the noise and channel correlation among the multiple channels of the vector sensor and of the pressure sensor line array.The correlation numbers in Table I are the modulus of the complex correlation defined as(6)TABLE IC HANNEL AND N OISE C ORRELATION M EASUREDF ROM THE F IELD DATA where are two complex sequences and represents the expectation operation.The channel impulse responses shown in Fig.2were used for the correlation calculation.For the vector sensor,the pressure,-velocity,-velocity,and-velocity chan-nels of thefirst sensor were numbered as channel#1to channel #4,respectively.The pressure outputs of the four vector sen-sors were used in the correlation analysis of the pressure sensor array.The noise correlation calculation used3.75s ambient noise,which was recorded20s before the BPSK training se-quence.As shown in Table I,although the four channels of the vector sensor were colocated at a single point,correlation among some of the channels could be small.Further,most of the noise corre-lation numbers of the vector sensor were smaller than those of the pressure sensor array.B.Simulated Performance of Vector Sensor ReceiversIn Fig.3,the bit error rates(BERs)of the receivers using a single vector sensor,a single pressure sensor,and a four-element pressure sensor array are shown.The experimental impulse re-sponses shown in Fig.2were used.The classic symbol-spaced DFE was used to compensate for the ISI in a single channel asFig.3.Simulated performance of the receivers using a single vector sensor,a four-element pressure sensor array,and a single pressure sensor.The impulse responses of Fig.2were used.The size of the four element pressure sensor array was30cm,whereas the vector sensor size was6.6cm.well as in multiple channels[2],[26].Carrier phase offset and time variation of the channel were not considered.The number of the feedforward taps was for the multichannel DFE and the number of the feedback taps was149sym-bols.The BERs corresponded to a6kb/s uncoded BPSK data stream at12kHz.As expected,the-velocity channel receiver had about1-dB reduction in the required signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)over the single pressure sensor receiver for the BER of.This was attributed to the smaller delay spread of the-velocity channel.By using all the channels of the vector sensor,a7-dB reduction in the required SNR for the BER of could be obtained,compared with a single pressure sensor receiver.The vector sensor receiver showed modest improve-ment(1.5dB)over the four-channel pressure sensor array.The average SNR of each multichannel receiver is defined as[19](7) where,and are the average powers of the pres-sure channel and of the particle velocity channels,and ,and are their respective noise powers.The vector sensor had a compact size(6.6cm)compared with the30-cm pressure sensor array.This is crucial in acoustic modem applications for AUVs where there are serious limita-tions on receiver size.This benefit is the result of the colocated particle velocity information that can be measured by a compact vector sensor.This is an alternative to spatially separated pres-sure sensors to achieve reception diversity.IV.C OMMUNICATION E XPERIMENT U SING V ECTOR S ENSORS In this section,we present a practical receiver to utilize par-ticle velocity channels in the underwater environment.Experi-mental data collected at multiple communication ranges are an-alyzed.Performance comparison between vector sensors and a pressure sensor array is reported as well.A.Multichannel Equalizer to Utilizethe Particle Velocity ChannelsConsidering the time-varying,dispersive properties of the un-derwater channel,(4)can be rewritten for a receiver with multiple vector sensors asto(8) where the pressure channel,-velocity channel,-velocity channel,and-velocity channel of the th vector sensor, ,correspond to channel indexesto.In(8),is the instantaneous carrier phase offset.,is the discrete-time baseband impulse response function where is the impulse response length in symbols.Note that(8)can also be used as the input–output equation for an-element pressure sensor array.Fig.4shows the receiver structure,which is similar to the algorithm presented in[4].As a channel-estimation-based processor,the multichannel equalizer tracks channel and carrier phase variations to accommodate fast channel variations.The channel estimate can be obtained from the received signal and the past decision results using the least squares method[27].The receiver consists of four compo-nents:noise normalization,phase tracking and correction,time reversal multichannel combining,andfinally a single channel DFE.A noise normalization component is needed since the noise power usually is not uniformly distributed among the pressure channel and the velocity channels[14].The noise power in the channel estimator[27]can be used as an estimate of the noise power(9)Fig.4.The practical multichannel equalizer consists of four parts:noise normalization,phase tracking and correction,time reversal multichannel combining,and single-channel DFE.where is the source symbol of the preamble and is channel estimation block size.After noise normalization,time reversal multichannel com-bining uses time reversed channel estimates as matched-filters for the phase-corrected signals on each channel[28].The output after time reversal combining is(10) where is the combined noise term and is the ef-fective impulse response between the source and output of time reversal.After time reversal,a single channel DFE with joint phase tracking[2]is used to compensate for the residual ISI and phase fluctuations in.The exponentially weighted recursive least-squares(RLS)algorithm is used to update the equalizer tap weights.The mean squared error(MSE)at the soft output of the DFE,,and the BER of the hard decision,,are used as performance metrics in the next subsection.The receiver in Fig.4is equivalent to the optimal multi-channel DFE structure[2].Rather than applying feedforward filters to the individual channels,the proposed receiver uses a single channel DFE on the composite channel after time reversal combining.The proposed receiver avoids,explicit or inexplicit, calculation and updating of large number of feedforwardfilters for individual channels.The length of the single channel DFE filters in the proposed receiver are shorter since the effective impulse response is usually compact and near time-in-variant.This lead to low complexity of the proposed receiver in the time-varying,dispersive underwater channel.munication Data AnalysisIn Section III,the impulse responses at the communication range of20m were presented for the particle velocity channels. In this section,communication data from seven source–receiver ranges up to1km are analyzed.A uniform set of receiver param-eters were used to demodulate all the BPSK data including the measurements from pressure channels as well as from particle velocity channels.The received data were oversampled with an oversampling rate of.The estimated channel length was25ms or150symbols.The channel estimation block size was chosen to be three times of the channel length,i.e., .The number of the feedforward taps wasfor the fractionally spaced DFE,where was the feed-forwardfilter span in symbols.The number of the feedback taps was5symbols.At the beginning of the3.75-s BPSK packet,1600symbols were used for noise normalization, initial channel estimation,phase tracking,and DFE tap weight training.The RLS forgetting factor in the DFE was0.999. For seven BPSK transmissions at different ranges,the demod-ulation results are shown in Table II.The time reversal receiver in Fig.4was applied to four channels of a single vector sensor, the four pressure channels of the four vector sensors(a pressure sensor array),and16channels of the four vector sensors(a vector sensor array).The receiver used previous detected symbols for channel estimation and equalization after the preamble.It is noted that there was no difference in the observed phase offset between the particle velocity channel and the pressure channels.This is consistent with the theoretical analysis in[29],where it is shown that Doppler spreads of particle velocity and pressure channels are nearly the same.When there were excessive errors for a de-modulation block,for example BER greater than0.3,the receiver would not be able to estimate the channel.We then consider this as receiver failure as marked in Table II for several cases.The av-erage channel delay spread and average correlation coefficients are listed for each range in Table III.The average was calculated over the3.75-s BPSK packet.The results can be discussed into three range groups.Thefirst group includes the close range(20,80,and160m).The re-ceivers using vector sensors had significant performance advan-tage at these close communication ranges.For example,at the 20-and80-m range,the single vector sensor receiver had about 5.5-and2.5-dB reduction in the output MSE over the pressure sensor receiver.At160m,the pressure sensor array receiver failed whereas the single vector sensor had an output MSE of 4.7dB.TABLE IID EMODULATIONR ESULTS D URING M AKAI EXTABLE IIIM EASURED C HANNEL C HARACTERISTICS D URING M AKAI EXAt these ranges,the direct path was strong and multipath ef-fect was limited due to the close range.The channels were very similar to impulse responses shown in Fig.2.For the vector sensor,the -and -velocity channels had weaker later arrivals re flected as smaller delay spread of -and -velocity channels in Table III for these ranges.The performance gain was partially attributed to the smaller delay spread of the -and -velocity channels.For the second range group (290and 430m),the pressure sensor array outperformed the single vector sensor.The receiver with the single vector sensor failed at the 290-m range while the output MSE of the pressure sensor array was 4.8dB.The per-formance gain of the pressure sensor array was partly due to lower correlation among its four pressure elements than among the four channels of the vector sensor.At the 430-m range,the pressure sensor array had modest gain over the single vector sensor,1.4-dB reduction in the output MSE.Note that such gain of the pressure sensor array at these ranges came with the price of the larger size receiving array,compared with a compact vector sensor [22].At these ranges,the channels had strong mul-tipath and later arrivals fluctuated very fast.As an example,the pressure and velocity channels of a vector sensor at the 430-m range are shown in Fig.5.The velocity channels did not have the advantage of smaller delay spread or lower correlation.How-ever,the vector sensor array had about 1.4-dB improvements over the pressure sensor array in terms of the output MSE.For the third range group (900and 1080m),the single vector sensor performed better than the pressure sensor array:the output MSE was 4.6and 4.1dB,respectively for these two ranges,for the single vector sensor while the receiver with the pressure sensor array failed.This was due to the high correlation (close to 0.9and higher)among all the channels of the pressure sensor array at these two ranges,as listed in Table III.The vector sensor array had similar performance to the single vector sensor,con firming strong correlation among the corresponding channels from multiple elements of the array.V .C ONCLUSIONIn this paper,particle velocity channels provided by vector sensors were utilized for underwater acoustic communication.Through the use of the MakaiEx data,coherent communication by vector sensors was demonstrated between a bottom mounted sound source and a drifting vector sensor vertical array.A prac-tical multichannel equalizer with near-optimal performance was implemented to process the data at multiple communica-tion ranges.Channel parameters such as correlation and delay spread that affect data communication were calculated from the measurements.It was shown that the multichannel equalizer using a single vector sensor can offer signi ficant receiver size reduction for coherent acoustic communication at the carrier frequency of 12kHz,compared with a 30-cm aperture pressure sensor line array.Further,the performance difference betweenFig.5.The measured3.75-s impulse responses of(a)pressure channel,(b)-velocity,(c)-velocity,and(d)-velocity channels at the source–receiver range of about430m.vector sensors and pressure sensors varied at communication ranges.At close ranges(up to160m),both a single vector sensor and a vector sensor array offered significant performance gain compared with the pressure sensor array.At longer ranges (up to1080m),the vector sensor array provided consistent performance gain,although smaller than those at close ranges, over the pressure sensor array since additional information of the acousticfield was utilized.These results suggest that vector sensors can offer acoustic communication solutions that are particularly needed in the compact underwater platforms.A CKNOWLEDGMENTThe authors would like to

在现代海战中,能否对水下目标实现快速、准确的探测和分类,对海军舰艇的作战能力和生存能力至关重要。

海洋环境复杂、多变的特性对水下目标识别系统的精确度和稳定性都提出了巨大的挑战。

海洋环境噪声和海洋混响是水下目标识别系统的主要干扰,如果能够有效地消除这些噪声的影响,便有望建立具有高精度的鲁棒性水下目标识别系统。

人耳听觉系统在嘈杂的环境下仍可以有效地跟踪并识别感兴趣的声音,而不受其他噪声的干扰,即所谓的“鸡尾酒会效应”。

这种优秀的识别能力是许多机器识别方法不能比拟的。

人耳听觉的一个显著特点是非线性,其对声音的感知可以划分为一系列不同带宽的频带,通过对各频带的感知实现对声信号的整体把握。

cal, geological, archaeological, and industrial applications, in general. To date, unlike the two-dimensional (2-D) imaging, the practical utilization of the three-dimensional (3-D) acoustic imaging is limited because of the several scientific and technological issues that make it difficult and expensive to produce imaging systems working in the real time. The importance of a simulator, which makes it possible to generate reliable underwater 3-D acoustic images, is related to the impressive costs and difficulties involved in producing the 3-D sonarimaging prototypes [1] and in carrying out the real experiments. The detection and the analysis of the objects embedded in the seafloor sediments are of growing importance in the current underwater research, providing relevant potential benefits for many activities like the location and inspection of the buriedpipeline portions, mines, toxic wastes, archeological findings, etc. Obviously, a sonar system able to produce 3-D images of the buried objects may dramatically improve the investigative possibilities; for this reason, several attempts to develop such an instrument are under way [2]–[5]. The simulation of the gathered signals allows the fast evaluation of the 3-D images generated by a specific sonar configuration and the assessment of any possible modification of the instrumentation. In this paper, the simulation of the response of an underwater scene insonified with a wideband pulse is based on the reproduction of the interaction of the acoustic field with a buried object, with the seabed surface, and with the sediment volume, as well as on the combination of such effects. Although some papers in the literature have focused on the rigorous modeling of such interactions (typically considered as separate effects), the development of a practical simulator that is able to provide the time signals received by a hypothetical sonar system, taking into account all the elements of a scene, is still an open research problem. After analyzing the different options [6]–[12], it was decided to model the surfaces of both the seabed and the objects as a dense random grid of the discrete scatterers, applying Rayleigh’s scattering law and coherently summing the responses of the scatterers. Sediment-volume inhomogeneities were, instead, modeled by a random distribution of the small asymmetrical scattering volumes [13]–[15], characterized by their 3-D dimensions, densities, and sound velocities. In accordance with the other authors [7], [16]–[18], a single scattering model, in which the propagation of the wave produced by a given scatterer or discrete volume is not affected by the other scatterers or discrete volumes, was applied.

Acoustic imaging of underwater embedded objects: Signal simulation for threedimensional sonar instrumentation
Abstract—This paper presents a method able to emulate the signals received by a sonar system exploring a submerged environment. The simulation of the response of an underwater scene insonified by a wideband pulse has been based on the reproduction of the interactions of the acoustic field with a buried object, with the seabed surface, and with the sediment volume. The signals gathered by the sonar array are emulated by modeling the surfaces of both the seabed and objects as a dense random grid of small discrete scatterers, by following Rayleigh’s law, and by integrating the responses of the scatterers. The roughness effects are simulated by allowing random distances from the actual scatterer positions to their nominal positions on the surface. Sediment-volume inhomogeneities are modeled by a random distribution of the small asymmetrical scattering volumes, characterized by their threedimensional (3-D) dimensions, densities, and sound velocities. In general, the simulator is very flexible in defining the object, the related scenario, and the major physical parameters involved. A voxel-based beamforming to generate the 3-D images starting with the simulated signals is also presented and briefly discussed. The 3-D images obtained appear very realistic and contain all the expected elements in the right relationships, including the typical speckle noise. Index Terms—Acoustic imaging, buried objects, signal simulation, sonar systems, three-dimensional (3-D) acoustic instrumentation, underwater acoustics.
