Passive depth estimation for a narrowband source using a single vector sensor in deep water [PDF]
JASA Express Letters, 2023 For a narrowband signal, an oscillating interference pattern is formed with a target's moving when receiving at the bottom of the sea. In this Letter, the interference pattern of a narrowband source is observed using a single vector sensor (SVS).
