Summary | Depth determination is a key parameter for Clutter discrimination in mid-frequency active sonar systems. Determining whether the source of a scattered signal is on the seabed or higher up in the water column represents a significant capability to discriminate between sources of clutter and targets of interest. A method to remotely discriminate clutter source depth by information contained in the backscattered signal-without a priori knowledge of that depth-is required to move the science forward. The long-term objective of the proposed research is to explore the development of a wavenumber-based determination of clutter depth based upon the physics of the shallow water waveguide. |
