Abstract

We consider the design of a multiple user phase coherent sonar ranging system to locate a vehicle on a underwater test range. Phase coherent signaling with short coded pulse burst is employed for ranging. CDMA is used to separate users, and we discuss the code selection and mismatched filter design. Gaussian noise, narrowband interference, multipath, and the multiple users are all sources of performance degradation. Mismatched filter design is applied to a single user system with four-phased length 34 code as well as a four user system with four-phase length 34 codes. The results show significant improvement over matched filtering
