Active underwater acoustic positioning / tracking systems locate target by measuring the range from object to receiving sensors . usually the target - receiver range can be got by the propagating time of a signal pulse . if this propagating time is larger than the pulse repetition period , it will mean that more than one signal pulse are on propagation 主動水聲跟蹤定位系統(tǒng)通過測量脈沖信號的傳播時延可以測得目標相對接收機的距離,當此傳播時延大于系統(tǒng)同步周期時,時延測量就會呈現(xiàn)不確定性,可能相差若干個重復周期,導致定位解多值,稱之距離模糊現(xiàn)象。
