In order to deal with complex, changeable, and unknown threat signals in the complex electromagnetic environment, a waveform intelligent optimization model based on intelligent optimization algorithm is proposed. By virtue of the universality and fast running speed of the intelligent optimization algorithm, the model can optimize the parameters used to synthesize the countermeasure waveform according to different external signals, so as to improve the countermeasure performance.Genetic algorithm(GA) and particle swarm optimization(PSO)are used to simulate the intelligent optimization of interruptedsampling and phase-modulation repeater waveform. The experimental results under different radar signal conditions show that the scheme is feasible. The performance comparison between the algorithms and some problems in the experimental results also provide a certain reference for the follow-up work.展开更多

We consider various modulation waveforms and find that square-wave modulation has the highest excitation efficiency for ELF/VLF signals, and that square-wave modulation with a smaller duty cycle(<50%) exhibits higher excitation efficiency for ELF/VLF signals, while the sin^(2)t waveform modulation yields the lowest proportion of harmonic energy in the generated signals. The amplitude of the second harmonic generated by the sin^(2)t waveform is less than one-tenth that of the fundamental frequency, and the energy of higher-frequency harmonics can be negligibly small compared with those of the fundamental wave. It is a challenging task to achieve a balance between enhancing the excitation efficiency of ELF/VLF signals and also suppressing harmonics generated by the modulated heating process. This is because the harmonics are correspondingly enhanced as the excitation efficiency of the signals is increased. However, we find that under conditions of varying effective radiant power and modulation frequency, as long as the modulation waveform is unchanged, the energy ratio between the fundamental frequency signal generated by modulated heating and each harmonic is relatively fixed, with changes only in signal intensity and the location of the radiation source zone. This implies that one can first select modulation waveforms that make the signal less prone to distortion, then increase the effective radiated power to enhance the signal strength, without concern for harmonic interference of the fundamental signal.展开更多

文摘Seismic source locations can characterize the spatial and temporal distributions of seismic sources,and can provide important basic data for earthquake disaster monitoring,fault activity characterization,and fracture growth interpretation.Waveform stacking-based location methods invert the source locations by focusing the source energy with multichannel waveforms,and these methods exhibit a high level of automation and noise-resistance.Taking the cross-correlation stacking(CCS)method as an example,this work attempts to study the influential factors of waveform stacking-based methods,and introduces a comprehensive performance evaluation scheme based on multiple parameters and indicators.The waveform data are from field monitoring of induced microseismicity in the Changning region(southern Sichuan Basin of China).Synthetic and field data tests reveal the impacts of three categories of factors on waveform stacking-based location:velocity model,monitoring array,and waveform complexity.The location performance is evaluated and further improved in terms of the source imaging resolution and location error.Denser array monitoring contributes to better constraining source depth and location reliability,but the combined impact of multiple factors,such as velocity model uncertainty and multiple seismic phases,increases the complexity of locating field microseismic events.Finally,the aspects of location uncertainty,phase detection,and artificial intelligencebased location are discussed.

文摘High resolution imaging of the fault zone structure is crucial to understanding the characteristics of strong earthquake activity and the deep seismogenic environment.In seismological studies,the fault zone is generally considered to be a low velocity zone with host rock on both sides.In order to determine the main parameters of fault zone,such as physical properties and interface characteristics,many efforts have been made.However,many key fault parameters still lack constraints,such as the depth extent,width and dip angle of the low velocity zone.With the advancement of the large-N array techniques in recent years,seismologists have collected high-quality data with larger apertures and denser arrays for better analysis of fault zone structures.These array data have also facilitated the development of new seismic imaging techniques.In this paper,a new waveform inversion method for fault zone parameters based on generalized teleseismic waveforms is proposed.Generalized teleseismic event is defined as the local seismic signal whose epicentral distance is greater than 7-10 times the aperture of the array.In order to efficiently simulate high frequency wavefield propagation from long distance local earthquakes,a hybrid modeling approach is proposed,which greatly reduces the computational cost for teleseismic waveform inversion.We apply the proposed new inversion method to a dense array data across an inactive fault in the Qilian Mountains,Gansu Province.As an activesource analogue of generalized teleseismic,the recorded waveforms of a 270-meter-long linear array are clearly excited by an airgun source 1.8 km away.Setting cross-correlation travel time of direct P wave as the misfit function,we perform waveform inversion for the main structural parameters of the fault zone through grid search strategy.The new method is particularly suitable for imaging fault zones with limited local seismicity.

文摘Full waveform inversion is a precise method for parameter inversion,harnessing the complete wavefield information of seismic waves.It holds the potential to intricately characterize the detailed features of the model with high accuracy.However,due to inaccurate initial models,the absence of low-frequency data,and incomplete observational data,full waveform inversion(FWI)exhibits pronounced nonlinear characteristics.When the strata are buried deep,the inversion capability of this method is constrained.To enhance the accuracy and precision of FWI,this paper introduces a novel approach to address the aforementioned challenges—namely,a fractional-order anisotropic total p-variation regularization for full waveform inversion(FATpV-FWI).This method incorporates fractional-order total variation(TV)regularization to construct the inversion objective function,building upon TV regularization,and subsequently employs the alternating direction multiplier method for solving.This approach mitigates the step effect stemming from total variation in seismic inversion,thereby facilitating the reconstruction of sharp interfaces of geophysical parameters while smoothing background variations.Simultaneously,replacing integer-order differences with fractional-order differences bolsters the correlation among seismic data and diminishes the scattering effect caused by integer-order differences in seismic inversion.The outcomes of model tests validate the efficacy of this method,highlighting its ability to enhance the overall accuracy of the inversion process.

文摘Full waveform inversion(FWI)is a complex data fitting process based on full wavefield modeling,aiming to quantitatively reconstruct unknown model parameters from partial waveform data with high-resolution.However,this process is highly nonlinear and ill-posed,therefore achieving high-resolution imaging of complex biological tissues within a limited number of iterations remains challenging.We propose a multiscale frequency–domain full waveform inversion(FDFWI)framework for ultrasound computed tomography(USCT)imaging of biological tissues,which innovatively incorporates Sobolev space norm regularization for enhancement of prior information.Specifically,we investigate the effect of different types of hyperparameter on the imaging quality,during which the regularization weight is dynamically adapted based on the ratio of the regularization term to the data fidelity term.This strategy reduces reliance on predefined hyperparameters,ensuring robust inversion performance.The inversion results from both numerical and experimental tests(i.e.,numerical breast,thigh,and ex vivo pork-belly tissue)demonstrate the effectiveness of our regularized FWI strategy.These findings will contribute to the application of the FWI technique in quantitative imaging based on USCT and make USCT possible to be another high-resolution imaging method after x-ray computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

文摘Low sidelobe waveform can reduce mutual masking between targets and increase the detection probability of weak targets.A low sidelobe waveform design method based on complementary amplitude coding(CAC)is proposed in this paper,which can be used to reduce the sidelobe level of multiple waveforms.First,the CAC model is constructed.Then,the waveform design problem is transformed into a nonlinear optimization problem by constructing an objective function using the two indicators of peak-to-sidelobe ratio(PSLR)and integrated sidelobe ratio(ISLR).Finally,genetic algorithm(GA)is used to solve the optimization problem to get the best CAC waveforms.Simulations and experiments are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed method.
