    • The invention is a digital sounder module and its method for detection. The digital sounder module includes a sonar carrier wave producing means, a band-pass filter, a pre-amplifier for providing a high sensitivity and extending a wide dynamic range, and an analog-to-digital converter for providing a digital implementation of a superheterodyne detector and producing an intermediate frequency. The digital sounder module also includes a programmable logic device for controlling a gain of the pre-amplifier and for digitally filtering the intermediate frequency and a microprocessor. The method implemented by the controlled per-amplifier gain processes the return echo signal by controlled ramp up of the gain over time to compensate for the change in signal strength in proportion to the length of the return path.

    • A multistatic sonar system (50) employing a short duration automatic gain control (AGC) following beamforming of the return signal to reject spatial transients at the sonar waveform leading and trailing edges. The output of the beamformer (58) is delayed by a delay line (60A) before passing through a programmable gain (60B). The magnitude of an undelayed version of the beamformer output is also squared (60D) and averaged over a time window (60E). This average is used to normalize the delayed value of the beamformer output. The normalized output of the beamformer is compared (60C) with a threshold having a value much greater than unity, and the comparator output controls the gain circuit (60B). When the normalized value of the beamformer output exceeds the threshold value, the gain of the AGC is set to a value much smaller than unity. When the normalized value of the beamformer output does not exceed the threshold, the gain of the AGC is set to unity.
    • 波束形成返回信号之后采用短时间自动增益控制(AGC)的多状态声纳系统(50),以消除声纳波形引导和后沿处的空间瞬变。 在通过可编程增益(60B)之前,波束形成器(58)的输出被延迟线(60A)延迟。 波束形成器输出的未延迟版本的幅度也被平方(60D)并且在时间窗口(60E)上取平均值。 该平均值用于归一化波束形成器输出的延迟值。 将波束形成器的归一化输出与具有远大于1的值的阈值进行比较(60℃),并且比较器输出控制增益电路(60B)。 当波束形成器输出的归一化值超过阈值时,AGC的增益被设置为远小于单位的值。 当波束形成器输出的归一化值不超过阈值时,AGC的增益被设置为1。

    • An acoustic ranging apparatus directs a burst of acoustic energy toward an acoustically reflective target object. The time it takes for an echo to return to the ranging apparatus is measured to determine the distance between the ranging apparatus and the object. The echo is received, amplified, and compared with a threshold voltage which decays in time in a manner which simulates the attenuation of acoustic energy as a function of distance travelled in the medium. The attenuation function is substantially simulated over the distance range that the ranging apparatus is intended to accurately measure by means of a simple, low cost first order linear circuit. The ranging apparatus responds only to echoes having a magnitude which exceeds the threshold voltage. Suprious or false echoes, such as those due to reflection of acoustic energy in the side lobes produced by an acoustic energy transducer in the ranging apparatus, are ignored.

    • In a receiver for pulsed ultrasonic beams, it is sometimes desirable to translate the received signal to a lower carrier frequency by a heterodyne process. It is also often desirable to vary the receiving channels' gain during the period when signals are being received from a single transmitted pulse, to compensate for the attenuation of later-arriving signals from a greater distance. To get both the heterodyne and the time-gain control functions in a prior-art receiver of N channels requires 2 mixers in each channel, or 2N mixers. According to the invention, the heterodyne and the time-gain control signals are combined in one master mixer and fed to all the channel mixers. The only N+1 mixers are required.

    • There is described a digital sonar receiver having a novel beamformer, own doppler nullifier (O.D.N.), and adaptive time varied gain controller. The beamformer interrogates a multi-element transducer by utilizing an interleaved sampling scheme which samples the elements in the transducers array sequentially, in such a fashion that continuous, uniformly spaced samples are obtained. The samples are subsequently converted into digital format, weighed and summed. The O.D.N. eliminates the own ship's doppler effect on the beam output signal resulting in a half beam output signal representative of the target doppler. The O.D.N. offsets the frequency of the beam output signal and a digital generated signal representative of the own ship's doppler. The O.D.N. multiplies these two offsetted signals resulting in a signal lying in each of the sum and difference frequency bands for which the signal lying in the difference frequency band corresponds to the target doppler. The adaptive time varied gain controller varies the gain of preamplifiers at the input of the sonar receiver to be inversely proportional to the momentary average reverberation level of the medium in which the receiver operates. The adaptive time varied gain control apparatus initially sets the gain of the preamplifiers to be inversely proportional to a standard reverberation curve during the first ping-cycle and subsequently updates the gain of the preamplifiers during each successive ping-cycle by computing a gain correction from the average value of a predetermined number of beam output signals.
