Radiated signal characteristics of marine vessels in the cepstral domain for shallow underwater channel.
This work examines the distribution of cepstral energy of the radiated signal of a marine vessel and the underwater channel modeled as a block-adaptive linear system. Detailed simulation analysis of the signal at the receiver of a passive sonar has led to the observation that, in the cepstral domain the radiated signal of a marine vessel largely occupies the lower cepstral indices while the underwater channel occupies the higher indices, such that for several range and depth conditions, the two can be separated out. This finding can facilitate the design of filters in the cepstral domain for reducing distortions due to the underwater channel. The work presents analytical justification and simulation studies in this regard.
