Description
Summary:Abstract To address the challenges of large‐aperture sonar systems passive localisation, this paper proposes the application of sparse Bayesian learning (SBL) for passive target localisation in the wideband beam domain. The proposed algorithm aims to overcome the issues of massive computational requirements for two‐dimensional SBL scanning and increased localisation errors due to interference energy leakage. The wideband beam domain SBL focusing localisation algorithm is developed by constructing an azimuth‐range two‐dimensional transformation matrix to preprocess array data, which effectively reduces the computational load of SBL processing while suppressing strong interference energy leakage in passive sonar operating environments, thus improving the range resolution and parameter estimation accuracy of focusing localisation. Simulation and sea trial data analyses demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed algorithm, with results indicating its superior performance compared to existing algorithms.
