Prediction Study for Digital Computer Simulation of an Optimum Space-Time Processor.

Abstract

Work on optimum space-time filtering has consisted of an analog computer simulation of a narrow-band Mermoz processor which was optimum only at its center frequency, and of single frequency array gain studies. It is now planned to simulate the Mermoz processor in non-real time on a general purpose computer using digital filters and data from a bottom-mounted, vertical array. This simulation will differ from earlier work in three ways: real sea noise will be used instead of electronic noise generators, the system will be optimum at more than one frequency in the band, and the system will be digital instead of analog. The purpose of this report is to present the results of a theoretical study undertaken to predict the performance of the simulated optimum processor.
