Study of the Distribution of Reverberation over Doppler Frequencies in a Deep-Sea Bistatic Experiment

摘要

The paper describes the results of an experiment on studying long-range surface reverberation in the deep-water part of the Black Sea. The experiment employed tone pulses with a filling frequency of 2 kHz and a duration sufficient for narrowband spectral analysis. The source and receiver of acoustic signals were spatially offset in the water area; therefore, directional reception and time strobing made it possible to study different situations: forward scattering, bistatic scattering, and monostatic (back) scattering. The paper analyzes the Doppler scattering spectra for different values of the bistatic scattering angle.
