Optimization of Conventional Passive Sonar Detection Systems
Abstract
The report examines three methods for maximizing the output signal- to-noise ratio of a conventional passive detection system consisting of a fixed array, non-adaptive beam forming, and square-law detection. The performance of a non-optimal system is compared to each of the three optimum configurations, and the results suggest how an unsophisticated, sub-optimal system, which has only marginally poorer performance than the optimum systems, can be designed.
