Modeling a Mathematical Solution for the Optimization of Signal-to-Background Ratio.

Abstract

One of the complex and unsolved problems in the sonar field is the modeling of a mathematical and computerized solution for the maximization of signal-to-background ratio (SBR). In dealing with the maximization of SBR, it has been found sufficient to attack the problem of maximizing signal-to-reverberation ratio (SRR). In this report, a numerical mathematical model is introduced for the complete solution of the SRR-maximization problem. The techniques employed to develop the entire optimization process are fully justified by mathematical theory. A mathematical expression for SRR is obtained, the complete SRR-optimization problem is addressed, and the development of a systematic computerized numerical procedure to optimize SRR is outlined. Also, the problems encountered in the mathematical and computer modeling are discussed. The computerized model has been applied to several sonar problems. Numerical results have demonstrated the validity of the mathematical model and the effectiveness of the computer model. (Author)
