The Effect of Saturated Transmission Scintillation on Ocean Acoustic Intensity Measurements

Abstract

Coherence theory is used to analyze the statistical properties of ocean-acoustic intensity fluctuations measured after saturated multipath propagation. Previous analyses in this area have been implicitly limited to certain special cases for which the time-bandwidth product of the field received from a given source is unity. In this paper, the statistical description is extended and generalized to be a function of measurement time and temporal coherence.
