Coherent and Noncoherent Joint Processing of Sonar for Detection of Small Targets in Shallow Water

A coherent-noncoherent joint processing framework is proposed for active sonar to combine diversity gain and beamforming gain for detection of a small target in shallow water environments. Sonar utilizes widely-spaced arrays to sense environments and illuminate a target of interest from multiple ang...
