Broad-band Matched-Field Source Localization in the East China Sea

Abstract
An incoherent broad-band frequency (100-200 Hz) domain Bartlett processor is applied to the wide-band source (WBS) signals for source localization. The coupled normal mode-parabolic equation theory based on the WKBZ approximation is used to calculate the replica fields in the sloping bottom environment. The experimental analysis shows that the accuracy of the source localization is largely improved with the consideration of the slope of bottom. The range estimates of the majority of signals by localized by matched-field processing in the range from 30.0 to 50.0 km are consistent with the global positioning system measured ranges.
