Abstract

See full text

A plurality of sensors and a digital adaptive tuning filter bank are used in extracting a desired emitted signal embedded in a noisy environment. By monitoring noise statistics of the sensor signals, the digital adaptive tuning filter bank automatically adjusts its upper (to eliminate strong tonals) and lower (to eliminate background noise) thresholds to obtain a discovery frequency band. The filter bank is designed by examining the discovery band across the sensors and over a predefined period of time. The method described significantly reduces the possibilities of matching self-noise transients (unwanted signals) and thus minimizes the false alarm rate in emitted signal recognition.
