Abstract

PURPOSE:To decide easily and securely on a Doppler signal in an echo from a detected target and to improve the performance of a sonar by providing local oscillation frequencies of two sound listening devices with equal frequency differences positively and negatively from a sonar oscillation frequency. CONSTITUTION:A received signal is supplied to modulators 1A and 1B of the sound listening devices A and B and mixed with signals of freqencies f1 and f2 from local oscillators 2A and 2B, and the mixed signals are supplied through filters 3A and 3B to amplifiers 4A and 4B, whose amplification outputs are supplied to receivers RA and RB of headphones 5. In this case, the frequencies f1 and f2 have equal frequency differences positively and negatively from the sonar oscillation frequency f0. Consequently, the extent of a Doppler frequency shift is discriminated clearly through the headphones 5 as a stereophonic sound feeling.

In this way, conventionally, discrimination (identification) as to whether a target is a moving object was carried out by listening to the small frequency difference Δf between the reverberation spectrum 13 and the target echo spectrum L4. Since all you have to do is listen to the frequency difference 2・Δf in the reverberant sound spectrum 14.15, the difference in frequency is 2.

Furthermore, when the reverberation level is extremely low, it is impossible to distinguish between the reverberant frequency and the target Doppler discrimination has to be made by relying on absolute pitch.
