Abstract

The biggest challenge in the underwater communication and target locating is to reduce the effect of underwater acoustic noise (UWAN). An experimental model is presented in this paper for the diurnal variability of UWAN of the acoustic underwater channel in tropical shallow water. Different segments of data are measured diurnally at various depths located in the Tanjung Balau, Johor, Malaysia. Most applications assume that the noise is white and Gaussian. However, the UWAN is not just thermal noise but a combination of turbulence, shipping and wind noises. Thus, it is appropriate to assume UWAN as colored rather than white noise. Site-specific noise, especially in shallow water often contains significant non-Gaussian components. The real-time noise segments are analyzed to determine the statistical properties such as power spectral density (PSD), autocorrelation function and probability density function (pdf). The results show the UWAN has a non-Gaussian pdf and is colored. Moreover, the difference in UWAN characteristics between day and night is studied and the noise power at night is found to be more than at the day time by around (3-8dB).

Abstract

With increasing demand of air traffic, there is a need to optimize the use of available airspace. Effective utilization of airspace relies on quality of aircraft surveillance. Active research is carried out for enhancements in surveillance techniques and various methods are evaluated for future use. This paper evaluates the use of multiple signal classification (MUSIC) based angle of arrival (AOA) estimation along with multiangulation for locating aircrafts from their electromagnetic wave emission. The performance evaluation of the system is presented by evaluating the AOA estimation errors and position estimation (PE) errors. The errors are evaluated by comparing the estimated value to the actual value. An analysis on the system parameters, AOA error and PE error are presented in the end. AOA errors are affected by the AOA value (emitter bearing), number of array elements, SNR and resolution of AOA estimation algorithm. Errors in AOA estimation lead to PE errors. The simulation results show small errors for short ranges. The system performance can be improved at the expense of computational time by using higher MUSIC resolution and larger antenna arrays
