Analysis of Transient Signals.
Abstract
Past experience with passive sonar systems has shown that significant numbers of transient signals are produced by submarines and surface ships. The sources of these transients are mechanical, such as hatches slamming or tools dropping. Until now little systematic use has been made of these signals. The work presented here is the result of some preliminary investigations to determine a suitable technique for processing these transients. It has been concluded that transient pulses fall into a number of classes and that all pulses in a specific class can be roughly described by an appropriate function.
