Underwater Aacoustic System Analysis provides a comprehensive exploration of underwater acoustics, acoustic signal generation, and acoustic signal processing for the practicing systems analyst and systems engineer. This second edition, first published in 1991, contains all the valuable information in the earlier edition plus a detailed discussion of of adaptive processing as applied to spatial filtering. Highlights of the book are: * Generatio...

The book summarizes the application of signal detection theory to the analysis an measurement of humn observer's sensor sysem. The theory provides a way to analyze what had been called the threshold or sensory limen, the basic unit of all discrimination studies, whether human or animal. The book outlines the theory of statisical decision making and its application to a variety of common psychophysical processes. It shows how signal detection t...

Donald Ross' classic is the most authoritative book on the fundamentals of underwater noise radiated by ships, submarines and torpedoes. The approach taken by Dr. Ross stresses physical explanations of basic mechanisms by which noise is generated transmitted by structures and radiated into the sea. Despite the complexity of these phenomena, they are explained in a straightforward manner which emphasizes the dominant mechanisms. The contents of...

Edited by John A. Swets in 1964, this book was the first to bring together into one volume a broad coverage of modern signal detection theory applications to human performance, specifically in auditory and visual sensory tasks. Applications in the book address several substantive problems in psychology including the integration of sensory information, signal uncertainty, auditory frequency analysis, speech communication, vigilance and recognit...

Addresses the current theory and practice of measuring electroacoustic parameters such as response, sensitivity, directivity, impedance, inefficiency, linearity and noise limits of transducers used in sonars. Discusses wide band traducers used as measurement instruments, near field and far field methods, and measurements on acoustic windows, reflectors, baffles, and absorbers.

Assembled in textbook form are the important contributions to traveling wave antenna analysis, synthesis, design, wave excitation, and applications. Many of the references are not readily accessible to the English-speaking reader and it would be difficult to find this material as completely and carefully formulated elsewhere. Little more than differential and integral calculus, complex variables, and vector analysis are needed as background fo...

This collection of papers by Wallace Clement Sabine, the Father of Architectural Acoustics, is an invaluable treasury of acoustical case history problems and their solutions. The papers are as useful today as when Sabine wrote them. They constitute a primer in architectural acoustics - straightforward and easy to follow, not just for the professional engineer and architect, but also for people who are not acquainted with the physical sciences....

PHYSICS OF SOUND IN THE SEA is the distillate of the brightest, most creative minds in the underwater acoustics community during World War II. The primary wartime effort to understand the underwater acoustic environment for the purpose of submarine and antisubmarine warfare was directed by the Subsurface Warfare Division of the National Defense Research Committee. This division organized and directed programs and studies to combine theory with...

Ambient noise may be loosely said to be unwanted sound emanating from the sea itself. Its constituents typically come from a variety of somewhat diffusely combined sources: pressure changes and hydrostatic effects of tides and waves, oceanic turbulence, seismic disturbances, distant ship traffic, wind, rainfall, collapse of bubbles created by wave action, thermal agitation, marine animals and biological activity, breaking ice, and man-made noi...

Classic book of fundamentals of noise control and noise reduction for the general engineer. Elementary beginnings leading to the advanced aspects of noise reduction for offices, residences, auditoriums and transportation vehicles. Case histories and abundant references.

Rated the most up-to-date source on underwater sound propagation in the current literature. The book covers these topics and more: Basic theory, velocity of sound in the ocean, attenuation and absorption, computer models of sound propagation, reflections and scattering by the sea surface and the sea bottom, temporal and spatial coherence, and multipath in the sea.
