A Filter Analysis Program for Passive Sonar Systems (USL Program S1400).

Abstract

USL Program S1400 has been written to provide sonar design engineers with a technique for selecting filter bands in passive sonar systems. For a set of rectangular filters, the program produces plots of output signal-to-noise ratio and standard deviation of random bearing error as functions of mid-band frequency. Each set of plots corresponds to a specified combination of target, environmental, and array spectral characteristics. In addition, the detection performance of the appropriate Eckart filter, which is optimum for the particular input parameters utilized, is included as a reference standard. Features of the program design, such as the format of input data and the control of output information, have been selected for ease of use.
