Research of Vector Hydrophone Adaptive Signal Processing

Abstract

As a useful tool for line spectrum detection in underwater signal ,ALE has been used wildly. But there are still some problems to influence the effect of ALE. This paper gives three problems on ALE and analyses these.Then by the characteristics of vector hydrophone and a improved variable step size LMS,this paper constructs a cascade double input with variable step size based on vector hydrophone line spectrum enhancer . This algorithm restrains the noise of main channel twice ,meanwhile controls the noise in reference channel , so as to improve signal to noise ratio better. At the same time ,because of adopting the improved variable step size LMS, the steady-state error is reduced. From the results of simulation and experiment, the method presented in this paper can have a better effect of line spectrum enhancement.
