Ocean Acoustics, Matched-Field Processing and Phase Conjugation

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Imaging of Complex Media with Acoustic and Seismic Waves

Part of the book series: Topics in Applied Physics ((TAP,volume 84))

Abstract

This chapter treats ocean acoustics and various applications of signal processing, phase conjugation and tomography to ocean acoustics. Phase conjugation is related to the standard principles of passive signal processing and to the more recent demonstrations of time-reversal mirrors in the ocean. Here we will give an overview of the relevant physics of ocean acoustics, present a passive signal processing method called matched-field processing and then discuss the related concept and implementation of time-reversal methods in ocean acoustics.
