  • Abstract
    The passive-range estimation technique using a single focused beamformer has been studied under the sea. However, there are not many more methods in the case of closed multisource environments. In this paper, we propose the technique using dual focused beamformers to estimate the ranges of a closed multisource, and compare the proposed technique with the previous method. The proposed method is verified via computer simulation under the simplified multipath underwater channel model.
