摘要
To increase the limited spatial processing gain of physical aperture of UUV(unmanned underwater vehicle) linear array and satisfy the demand of long distance target detection,a flank array based on the synthetic aperture technique is introduced into UUV,and a modified beam domain passive synthetic aperture processing algorithm(BDPSA) suitable for the flank array is proposed concurrently,which sums the beamforming of linear array coherently for successive measurement after phase compensation to make the beam output peak corresponding to the expected target bearing,expand the array aperture effectively and improve the resolution.The simulation of detection probability and distinguishing probability for double targets within 1,1/2,1/3 and 1/4 beam-width shows that the method of BDPSA has lower SNR threshold for target distinguishing,improves the detection probability and distinguishing probability under low SNR,and realizes the long-distance and high resolution bearing estimation because of the obvious improvement of the spatial array gain.
