Technique for detecting a direct signal pulse from an underwater explosive source in a waveguide

详细

A technique for detecting direct signal pulses based on steep rising edges of acoustic pressure is developed. The technique consists in calculating the mirror derivative of the received signal and normalizing it in a specific manner. This makes it possible to amplify weak direct signals and suppress strong reflected ones. A key feature of this technique is that it ensures a high probability of detection of direct signal pulses while keeping the number of false detections at a minimum.
