Frequency-wavenumber (-) analysis can estimate the direction of arrival (DOA) of broadband signals received on a vertical array. When the vertical array configuration is sparse, it results in an aliasing error due to spatial sampling; thus, several striation patterns can emerge in the - domain. This paper extends the - analysis to a sparse receiver-array, wherein a multitude of sidelobes prevent resolving the DOA estimates due to spatial aliasing. The frequency difference-wavenumber (Δf-) analysis is developed by adopting the concept of frequency difference, and demonstrated its performance of DOA estimation to a sparse receiver array. Experimental results verify the robustness of the proposed Δf- analysis in the estimation of the DOA of cracking sounds generated by the snapping shrimps, which were recorded by a sparse vertical array configuration during the shallow water experiment.
频率波数 (-) 分析可估计垂直阵接收的宽带信号的到达方向 (DOA)。 当垂直阵配置稀疏时,由于空间采样会产生混叠误差; 因此,在 - 域中可能会出现几个条纹图案。本文将 - 分析扩展到稀疏接收阵列,其中多个旁瓣由于空间混叠而阻止了 DOA 估计的分辨率。通过采用频率差的概念,开发了频率差波数 (Δf-) 分析,并对稀疏接收阵列的 DOA 估计性能进行了验证。实验结果验证了所提出的 Δf-分析在浅水实验中由 snapping 虾产生的破裂声的 DOA 估计中的稳健性,该破裂声由稀疏垂直阵配置记录。
