6000m级超宽带海底底质声学原位测量系统设计与标定

Design and Calibration of a 6000-m-Class Ultra-Wideband In-situ Seabed Sediment Acoustic Measurement System

  • 摘要: 海底底质声学特性是深海地声模型构建与水下目标探测的基础边界参数。针对现有原位测量技术在工作水深和频带覆盖范围等方面的局限性,本文研制了一套6000 m级超宽带底质声速和声衰减原位测量系统,采用覆盖1 kHz–120 kHz的低、中、高频声源换能器,结合6个宽带水听器非等间距排列,形成垂向与斜向相结合的测量方式。针对复杂探测环境下信号初至拾取困难,引入联合STA/LTA与AIC的混合算法实现了初至时间的精准提取。消声水池实验测试结果表明,该系统在1 kHz–120 kHz全频段内展现出较好的测量稳定性,声速测量精密度(RSD)控制在0.5%,误差范围不超过±10m/s,声速测量准确度优于0.15%(<2.3m/s),并在距离换能器相对较远区域内,几何空间固有衰减系数的测量绝对误差被有效控制在±2 dB/m以内。

     

    Abstract: The acoustic properties of seabed sediments are fundamental boundary parameters for the construction of deep-sea geoacoustic models and underwater target detection. Addressing the limitations of existing in-situ measurement technologies regarding operating depth and frequency band coverage, this paper presents the development of a 6000 m-class ultra-wideband in-situ measurement system for seabed sound velocity and sound attenuation. The system integrates low-, mid-, and high-frequency source transducers covering the 1 kHz–120 kHz band and a 6-element wideband hydrophone array with non-equal spacing to form a combined vertical and oblique measurement approach. To overcome the challenge of difficult signal first-arrival picking in complex detection environments, a hybrid algorithm combining STA/LTA and AIC is introduced to achieve precise extraction of first-arrival time. Anechoic tank experimental calibration results demonstrate that the system exhibits high measurement stability across the entire 1 kHz–120 kHz frequency band, with the sound velocity measurement precision (RSD) controlled within 0.5%, the error range is under ±10m/s and the accuracy better than 0.15% (<2.3m/s). Furthermore, within the far-field zones relative to the transducer, the absolute measurement error of the geometric‑space intrinsic attenuation coefficient is effectively controlled within ±2 dB/m.
