Abstract
A calibration method based on convex optimization (CVX) and neural networks is proposed for the large planar arrays of phased array three-dimensional imaging sonar systems. The method only needs an acoustic calibration source at an unknown position in the far field, and the direction of arrival (DOA) and gain and phase error are jointly estimated. The method uses a CVX algorithm to solve an optimization problem and initially estimates the DOA of the calibration source robustly. Subsequently, according to the estimation results, a neural network is used for fitting to obtain off-grid DOA estimation of the calibration source. Thereafter, spatial matched filtering is performed to obtain the gain and phase residual estimations. The root mean square error (RMSE) of the beam pattern calibrated by the method for uniform planar arrays can reach a value of 4.9542 × 10−5. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed method for gain and phase calibration.
