Abstract
Passive radial velocity estimation based on a single hydrophone has a wide range of applications in engineering, and can be used in small underwater platforms such as submerged buoys and underwater gliders. The conventional passive radial velocity estimation method based on a single hydrophone has poor performance due to the influence of noise. In this paper, the time delay coherence coefficient (TDCC) of passive target line spectrum is derived based on a single hydrophone. Further, the radial velocity can be obtained by the time delay required by the phase change of TDCC for one period. Based on the characteristics that the line spectrum phase is stable and the noise phase is random, coherent averaging (CA) is applied to suppress noise. The use of CA greatly reduces the influence of noise on TDCC and efficiently improves the accuracy of radial velocity estimation. The performance and system error of the proposed CA-TDCC method are analyzed through a series of simulations. Finally, the CA-TDCC method is used to process SwellEx-96 data, and the relative error of radial velocity estimation is less than 10%, which verifies the effectiveness of this method in practical applications.

期刊介绍:
Since its launch in 1968, Applied Acoustics has been publishing high quality research papers providing state-of-the-art coverage of research findings for engineers and scientists involved in applications of acoustics in the widest sense.
Applied Acoustics looks not only at recent developments in the understanding of acoustics but also at ways of exploiting that understanding. The Journal aims to encourage the exchange of practical experience through publication and in so doing creates a fund of technological information that can be used for solving related problems. The presentation of information in graphical or tabular form is especially encouraged. If a report of a mathematical development is a necessary part of a paper it is important to ensure that it is there only as an integral part of a practical solution to a problem and is supported by data. Applied Acoustics encourages the exchange of practical experience in the following ways: • Complete Papers • Short Technical Notes • Review Articles; and thereby provides a wealth of technological information that can be used to solve related problems.
Manuscripts that address all fields of applications of acoustics ranging from medicine and NDT to the environment and buildings are welcome.
