Underwater Signal Parameter Detection and Estimation

This chapter presents a simple high-performance technique for underwater geolocation and navigation. The simplicity of this technique provides excellent stability, accuracy, and computation efficiency. In addition, the chapter also describes the reversed version of the system for the enhancement of system performance, and the extension to active system for unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV) collision avoidance.

The original design goal was to improve the accuracy and stability of the conventional polarity estimation algorithm for UUV homing and docking exercises underwater. The assumption is that the relative left–right position of the UUV to the base stations can be estimated from ...
