摘要: 考虑到信号的方向信息存在误差时,宽带聚焦变换波束形成方法的稳健性会急剧下降,为了克服这种缺点,将稳健的二阶锥规划波束形成用于聚焦变换方法中,提出一种稳健宽带恒定束宽波束形成方法并将其应用于声呐探测。二阶锥规划波束形成是通过对阵列流形进行约束求解得到准确的权值,从而减少聚焦数据误差,避免估计畸变,得到恒定束宽,提高了聚焦变换恒定束宽波束形成器的性能。借助计算机对圆环形传感器阵列在宽频段内进行恒定束宽波束优化设计,并进行了实验研究,结果表明该方法对信号信息误差有很好的宽容性,能实现我们期望得到的恒定束宽波束图,能应用于实际的声呐探测中。并且比传统的二阶锥恒定束宽方法有更高的稳健性。Abstract: Because of the signal information error of direction,the robustness of the broadband focusing transform beamforming methods deteriorates.To overcome the shortcoming,a rolmst broadband beam forming method based on the focusing transform approach was presented.To achieve a constant beamwidth for acoustic detection,the proposed method mainly applies the idea of second-order cone programming.The beam forming methods can get more exact weights and then reduce the focused data error.Thus it can improve the robustness performance of the focused beamformer.The beam forming on the circular sensor array is optimized by the computer and demonstrated in the experiment.The experimental results show that the method has a good tolerance to the signal message error and we can achieve a constant beam width beam pattern.So it can be applied to real sonar detection.And it has higher robustness than the traditional second-order cone method of constant,beam width.
