Abstract: The low frequency line components of the radiated noise from an underwater target usually have both high spectrum level and sustained stability.This feature could be used to increase the detection performance of conventional broadband energy integration method.The required spectrum level is theoretically discussed when the detection performance of the known line detection is better than that of broadband energy integration method.Under the condition of the target can be detected in line spectrum band,the relationship between the line spectrum level and signal to noise ratio(SNR)is also discussed.This paper proposes a line spectrum target detection method that a matrix using DC jump to fluctuations ratios of sub-band spatial spectrum and beam space output is constructed.This matrix acts as a filter that the line spectrum target with certain frequency and azimuth is passed at most.By fusing with the other sub band results,the conventional detection performance can be improved.At the same time,the applicable condition and detection performance are analyzed in the paper.The simulation and the sea trial data processing results show that the algorithm can effectively extract weak goal line spectrum target under the condition of multi-interference.The algorithm doesn’t need multi-frame statistics and the detection performance is closer to the optimal line spectrum method.
