Underwater acoustic beacon signal extraction based on dislocation superimposed method

Abstract

Flight data are recorded in an acoustic beacon. A new signal extraction method led by random decrement technique is proposed to detect sound signals from thousands of meters under the sea. This method involves dislocation superimposed method and cross-correlation function to extract acoustic beacon signals with noise interference. First, the starting point is selected and the length of each segment is determined via two superposition ways. Second, the signal segment for linear superposition is intercepted to complete acoustic beacon signal extraction. Finally, the signals are subjected to cross-correlation and energy analyses to determine the accuracy of interception signals. During the experiment, the collected acoustic beacon signal is used as the test signal, and the signal is obtained as the simulation signal on the basis of the parameters of acoustic beacons. Results show that the correlation between the synthetic and concerned signals is more than 80% after a number of superposition are performed and the extraction effect is remarkable. Dislocation superimposed method is simple and easily operated, and the extracted signal waveform yields a high accuracy.
