Peak Extraction Passive Source Localization Using a Single Hydrophone in Shallow Water

In this work, we use the acoustic ray model to study passive source localization problems using a single hydrophone for shallow water waveguides. It has been found that conventional matched field processing, which requires a multi-hydrophone array, is no longer effective. In this paper, we introduce matched feature localization to achieve passive source localization using a single hydrophone. The eigenray that contains the arrival structure is the core of the acoustic ray model; however, it is difficult to estimate the relative arrival delay of the eigenray for passive localization, especially in shallow water. Therefore, we propose a novel peak extraction passive source localization method based on the autocorrelation function, which does not require estimation of the relative arrival delay of the eigenray. According to a computer simulation, the proposed method can achieve good performance using only one hydrophone. Further, its performance is validated using wideband data collected on a vertical line array during the Shallow Water 2006 experiment.
