Gc. Carter, Results of an independent analysis of the inverse beamformer for use in the advanced processor build process, J ACOUST SO, 107(6), 2000, pp. 3564-3567
The inverse beamformer (IBF) is a signal-processing algorithm developed for
underwater applications. The advanced processor build (APB) is a recently
developed process for sonar test and evaluation. This correspondence descri
bes both and summarizes the results of an independent ''data-driven'' test
and evaluation of the IBF by using the APE. Discussion includes the underly
ing reasons for gains observed over conventional systems and applicability
to uncluttered acoustical environments. [S0001-4966(00)04106-0].
