Abstract

Shallow water reverberation and clutter are the main interferences that limit the detection performance of active sonar on low-speed targets. Reasonable sonar waveform selection and parameter design can make use of the doppler sensitivity of the waveform to effectively suppress reverberation and clutter and reduce the sonar false alarm rate. The quantitative design of waveform doppler sensitivity is closely related to the degree of reverberation doppler expansion caused by environmental factors. In this paper, the “doppler-statistic Method” is proposed to establish the quantitative relationship between the doppler tolerance parameters of sonar waveform and the reverberation statistical model based on the reverberation doppler statistical model. The calculation method of clutter suppression probability is proposed, and the expression of the maximum allowable doppler tolerance value of sonar waveform under clutter suppression probability and confidence interval is determined. The lake trial analysis proves the effectiveness of the method, which is important on waveform design of active sonar with reverberation and clutter.
