These distributions tend to produce large-amplitude excursions from the average value more frequently than the Gaussian distribution. Among all the heavy-tailed distributions, the family of stable distributions has been found to provide useful models for phenomena observed in many diverse fields, such as economics, physics and electrical engineering. It is capable of modeling a wide variety of nonGaussian phenomena, from those similar to the Gaussian to those similar to the Cauchy. This paper presents some preliminary results on signal detection and estimation under the nonGaussian stable assumption.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":309407,"journal":{"name":"[1992] IEEE Sixth SP Workshop on Statistical Signal and Array Processing","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125862921","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to theory, if the original signal is sufficiently non-Gaussian the bispectrum of the received signal-plus-noise will contain only information due to the signal, and the white Gaussian noise will be suppressed. A bispectrum detector has been developed which utilizes the a priori knowledge of the input active sonar signal by selecting regions of the bispectral domain where the magnitude exceeds a significance test threshold. The presence of the returning sonar signal in noise is then detected by measuring bispectral content in those regions. Linear FM (chirp) signals of several frequencies and sweep ranges are generated to simulate active sonar input, and corrupted by additive white Gaussian noise to produce various signal-to-noise ratios. Receiver Operating Characteristic curves for these signals demonstrate that this new detector provides gain over a bispectrum detection method previously presented in the literature. Detection results are presented for the original signals with additional multipath returns.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":309407,"journal":{"name":"[1992] IEEE Sixth SP Workshop on Statistical Signal and Array Processing","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121856249","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For range-dependent environment, parabolic equation or mode-based propagation modelling techniques may be used to provide these replicas. A comparison is presented for environments with sloping bottoms, using the order 3 Pade wide angle approximation for the parabolic equation to ensure precision. The numerical simulations involved generation of 'measured' covariance matrices using PE fields; these were then matched with replicas computed using adiabatic modes. The results showed that for slopes up to 2 degrees , the two techniques yield similar matches, but the adiabatic model provides up to a 100-fold speed advantage.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":309407,"journal":{"name":"[1992] IEEE Sixth SP Workshop on Statistical Signal and Array Processing","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117184786","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By emulation results of single-group and multi-group sources, they show that the optimal focusing angles can achieve the wideband MVDR criterion and result in minimum output power of the beamformer. The steepest descent algorithm is suggested for iteratively updating the focusing angles for beamformers to null both stationary and nonstationary interferences. For direction finding applications, the same auto-focusing procedures can be applied directly by presuming a dummy looking direction. Simulation results show that the performances of beamforming and direction finding applications are greatly improved by the proposed auto-focusing algorithm.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":309407,"journal":{"name":"[1992] IEEE Sixth SP Workshop on Statistical Signal and Array Processing","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1992-10-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126416647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
