Abstract

The performance of a single commercial accelerometer-based underwater acoustic vector sensor (AVS) in resolving acoustic azimuth was evaluated. The method involves calculating the active intensity of an acoustic signal to determine the dominant directionality of an acoustic pressure field as a function of time and frequency. While this method efficiently displays azimuth bearings for specific frequencies, there are very few assessments of its performance in resolving all possible bearings using a single AVS. Field experiments were conducted with an AVS placed on the sea bottom and an active source suspended from a research vessel. A 600 Hz signal was transmitted from 16 positions covering a 360° azimuth to the AVS. During the transmissions, the vessel maintained its position and heading by using a dynamic positioning system. The acoustic azimuths were compared with the transmission bearings obtained via Global Positioning System. This study demonstrates that a commercial AVS system can effectively resolve acoustic bearings across a full 360° azimuth at high signal-to-noise ratios using the active intensity method. Our results support the use of AVS systems in research on sound directionality, including bioacoustics studies on how marine organisms respond to natural underwater sound and anthropogenic noise.

利用基于加速度计的水声矢量传感器解析声方位
对基于单个商用加速度计的水声矢量传感器(AVS)的声方位分辨性能进行了评价。该方法包括计算声信号的主动强度,以确定声压场作为时间和频率函数的主导方向性。虽然这种方法可以有效地显示特定频率的方位方位,但在使用单个AVS解决所有可能的方位时,很少有对其性能的评估。现场实验是用放置在海底的AVS和悬挂在研究船上的有源进行的。从覆盖360°方位角的16个位置向AVS发送600 Hz信号。在传输过程中,船只通过使用动态定位系统保持其位置和航向。将声方位角与通过全球定位系统获得的传动轴承进行了比较。该研究表明,商用AVS系统可以使用主动强度法在高信噪比下有效地解决整个360°方位角的声学轴承问题。我们的研究结果支持AVS系统在声音方向性研究中的应用,包括海洋生物对自然水下声音和人为噪音的反应的生物声学研究。
