The virtual head wave is produced through cross-correlation processing of signals containing the real, acoustic head wave. The virtual head wave has the same phase speed as the head wave, but the travel time is offset, thus the term virtual. The virtual head wave, like the real head wave, propagates in a direction corresponding to the seabed critical angle. The virtual head wave travel time varies with array depth and water column depth. However, in a refracting environment, the travel time is also dependent on the depth-dependent sound speed profile. Previously, the virtual head wave was shown as observable from …


Aspect-Dependent Radiated Noise Analysis Of An Underway Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, John Gebbie, Martin Siderius, John S. Allen Iii Oct 2012

Aspect-Dependent Radiated Noise Analysis Of An Underway Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, John Gebbie, Martin Siderius, John S. Allen Iii

This paper presents an analysis of the acoustic emissions emitted by an underway REMUS-100 autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) that were obtained near Honolulu Harbor, HI using a fixed, bottom-mounted horizontal line array (HLA). Spectral analysis,beamforming, and cross-correlation facilitate identification of independent sources of noise originating from the AUV. Fusion of navigational records from the AUV with acoustic data from the HLA allows for an aspect-dependent presentation of calculated source levels of the strongest propulsion tone.
