Abstract:

This Supplement and Volume IV examine performance of digital optimal and suboptimal detectors in an interference-dominated environment. Costs of clipping and sampling and the problem of recovering clipping losses are evaluated. Detection threshold variations dependent on measured noise parameters are also studied. Using noise power as a parameter shows non-parametric properties asymptotically independent of the noise amplitude distribution. Reduced dependency on noise properties can also be achieved by a zero count at each hydrophone. An active receiver using widely separated receivers for reverberation and noise-dominated conditions, and the effect of linear frequency modulation on the transmitted signal, are examined. Computation of ambient noise directivity is reported for shallow depths.
