Research: Real-time MIMO SONAR Systems Utilizing Thin-film Sensor Technology

Monitoring maritime infrastructures, such as ports, locks or offshore wind farms, often occurs above the water surface. Technologies for underwater monitoring, such as SONAR systems, have so far only been applied to a limited extent for various reasons. On the one hand, there are technological limitations, as there is a trade-off between resolution and range of the SONAR system. On the other hand, there are financial reasons, since monitoring a large area requires many projectors and hydrophones and the ceramics used so far are expensive.

The aim is therefore to develop a real-time SONAR system for monitoring maritime infrastructures and traffic routes, overcoming the mentioned limitations and enhancing overall performance. This will involve novel approaches from the fields of signal processing and materials science. These include, for example, MIMO signal processing and thin-film sensor technology.

Related topics:

  • Real-time signal processing
  • SONAR systems
  • Underwater transducer evaluation

 

Further interests:

  • Adaptive filters
  • Machine learning
