Design of Deep-Sea Acoustic Vector Sensors for Unmanned Platforms by Qindong Sun, Lianglong Da

“…To meet the critical need for compact, multifunctional acoustic vector sensors on deep-sea unmanned platforms such as acoustic profiling buoys and underwater gliders, we have developed a novel composite resonant acoustic vector sensor capable of large-depth operations. The sensor innovatively integrates the sound pressure channel and the vector channel, and utilizes the conjugate cross-spectrum between them to effectively reduce the isotropic noise, enhance the detection of weak signals from ships, and make up for the shortcomings of a single sound pressure channel and a vector channel. …”
