수평 선배열 소나의 원추각 특성 기반 다중경로 트랙 연관 기법 = Multipath Track Association Technique using Characteristics of Conical Bearing in Horizontal Line Array Sonar

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This paper conducts a study on methods for associating multipath tracks received by a horizontal line arraysonar. The horizontal line array sonar introduces conical bearing ambiguities due to its array-shaped characteristics.
Target signals are often subject to multipath propagation in the ocean, resulting in errors in target bearingestimation due to these bearing ambiguities. Recent research efforts have been directed toward using multipathtracks to estimate the positions of targets. However, there has been a lack of research dedicated to identifyingmultipath tracks from the measurements of a horizontal line array sonar. Therefore, this study identifies the conicalbearing characteristics of multipath signals based on the result of experiment and establishes criteria for associatingmultipath tracks. Additionally, Simulations are performed to determine the ability to associate multipath tracks.
