- Abstract
To solve the synthesised accuracy degradation of traditional Bayesian compressive sensing (BCS) in wideband multi‐beam hydrophone array synthesis, a novel sparse array synthesis method based on block‐structure Bayesian compressive sensing (BS‐BCS) is proposed for frequency‐invariant and multi‐angle beampatterns. The multi‐angle beampatterns at different frequencies are synthesised in block structure using the shared position strategy which effectively reduces the number of array elements. In order to meet the minimum spacing requirement of adjacent array elements in practical engineering, the constraint converted off‐grid method is proposed to improve the array synthesis accuracy. The grid scaling is introduced to obtain the possible array element positions. The array positions and weights can be solved by the BCS solver and corrected by Taylor perturbation. To validate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method, simulations and actual experiments are carried out. The synthesised errors and peak sidelobe levels (PSLLs) of multi‐angle beampatterns obtained by the constraint converted off‐grid method outperforms those of other methods. The beamforming results of actual experiments in marine environment show that the PSLLs of the beampatterns obtained by BS‐BCS is lower at least 6.3 dB than that of uniform array, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
