A new acoustic navigation system was developed to determine the position and speed of moving underwater objects such as divers and underwater vehicles. The path of an object and its speed were determined by the Doppler shifts of acoustic signals emitted by a transmitter placed on the object and received by four hydrophones installed at the periphery of the monitored body of water. The position and speed measurements were affected...

The paper describes a concept of an underwater navigation system designed to determine the location and speed of its ROVs or divers. Conducted by the Department of Marine Electronic Systems at the Gdansk University of Technology for several years, research has focused on navigation systems which determine positions on the basis of Doppler shifts of echo signals reflected from a moving object. This article presents a different version...

Celem rozprawy było zbadanie możliwości budowy hydroakustycznych systemów nawigacyjnych, których działanie opiera się wyłącznie na pomiarach odchyłek dopplerowskich sygnałów akustycznych emitowanych przez obiekty poruszające się pod wodą. Rozpatrywano dwie wersje systemu: pierwszego opartego na analizie sygnału emitowanego przez nadajnik zainstalowany na ruchomym obiekcie oraz drugiego opartego na analizie sygnału emitowanego...
