ECE 575 - Sonar Signal Processing

3 credits
3 hours lecture
Prerequisites: ECE 521, 597; or permission of instructor
Classical theories in detecting and processing both active and passive signals in noise with special emphasis on the underwater environment and associated techniques in sound navigation ranging (SONAR). Both spatial and temporal processing methods are studied including beamforming, matched filtering, effects of noise and interference, application and utility of frequency agile signals, narrow band and broadband passive techniques, and adaptive algorithms to address the time/ space varying interference sources. Applications in underwater detection, classification, localization, and communication are also discussed.
