초록보기

연속파 기 반의 능동 소나(CAS : continuously active sonar)는 펄스 기반의 능동 소나(PAS : pulsed active sonar)보다 짧은 주기로 추정치를 갱신하여 뛰어난 표적 추적 성능을 확보할 수 있으며, 연속파에 대한 긴 수집시간을 적극 활용하여 탐지 거리를 향상 시킬 수 있다. 뿐만 아니라, CAS는 PAS보다 낮은 저피탐 확률을 가지는 장점이 있다.

연속파를 송신하면 높은 파워 레벨의 체적 잔향음과 수표면 및 해저면 잔향음이 지속적으로 발생한다. 표적 반사신호에 충분한 도플러가 발생하지 않는다면, 잔향음과 표적 반사신호는 주파수 대역을 공유하게 된다. 뿐만 아니라, 표적의 거리가 멀수록 신호대 잔향음 비(SRR : signal to reverberation ratio)가 감소하기 때문에 탐지 과정에서 잔향음은 오탐지의 발생의 원인이 된다. 따라서, 원거리 CAS에서는 안정적으로 표적 탐지를 수행하기 위해서 잔향음을 억제할 수 있는 신호 모델과 신호처리 기법은 매우 중요한 요소이다. 여러 논문에서 잔향음의 영향을 억제하기 위해서 분석되고 있는 대표적인 신호 모델은 Costas code와 linear frequency modulation(LFM)으로 설계된 frequency coded continuous wave (FCCW)이다[20][21].

고속으로 기동하는 표적에 대한 정보를 연속적으로 추정하고 갱신하기 위해서 CAS를 활용할 때, 고려해야 될 문제점은 원거리 CAS와 차이가 있다. 근거리 상황에서는 표적과의 거리가 가까울수록 SRR이 개선된다. 또한, 고속으로 기동하는 표적에 의해 충분한 도플러가 발생한다면, 잔향음과 수신신호가 서로 다른 주파수 대역에 위치할 수 있다. 이러한 상황이라면, 근거리 CAS에 적용될 신호 모델과 신호처리 기법은 잔향음 억제보다는 추정치의 갱신 주기와 추정 기법의 안정성을 강화하는 방향으로 설계되는 것이 적합하다.

본 논문에서는 고속 수중운동체의 정보를 지속적으로 추정 및 갱신하기 위한 CAS에 활용할 목적으로 신호모델인 hopping-frequency-coding-based continuous-wave(HFC-CW)와 수신신호처리 알고리즘인 group-correlators and accumulated sum(GCAS)를 제안한다. HFC-CW는 잔향음과 수신신호의 주파수 대역이 분리되는 대역폭을 사용할 때, 적절한 잔향음 억제 성능을 확보하고 정보 갱신 주기를 최소화하는 방향으로 설계되었다. GCAS는 잔향음과 수신신호의 주파수 대역이 분리되지 않는 상황에서도 안정적으로 정보를 추정하기 위한 방향으로 설계하였다. 이를 위해서 GCAS는 HFC-CW의 생성방법과 관계없이 상관기의 길이를 조절하여 정보 추정의 안정성을 확보할 수 있다.
