Abstract

The paper proposes a new family of broadband sonar pulses. Each pulse is formed by a combination of orthogonal wavelet basis functions as subpulses with variable scaling factor and shifts. The wavelet adopted is a complex rational orthogonal wavelet (CROW) with a fractional scale dilation factor valued between 1 and 2. The number of subpulses, scaling factor and their time shifts are designed to ensure that the sonar pulse conforms to a designated signal spectrum. The issue of peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the sonar pulse is explored and design example is presented with minimized PAPR. The proposed waveform design features efficient detection algorithm based on CROW analysis filter bank (FB). The detection performance is analyzed regarding Doppler resistance, noise mitigation and multipath by simulations. Preliminary results show that the designed detection system is able to cope with severe multipath, high ambient noise and sever Doppler dispersion.
