A system determines and transmits correctional data of a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) which has a plurality of reference stations that can be used to determine the correction data by repeatedly measuring the position of the reference stations and comparing it to the previously determined exact position. The data determined in this manner are transmitted to a central station via a network and optionally processed in the central station. Such a system requires that every reference station be equipped with a GNSS receiver, but it is especially the connection to the central station that requires considerable financial resources for the establishment of the connection and both for the maintenance and operation of the network. An already existing network of the phasor measurement units of a power transmission network is therefore used.

A directional detection system including a microphone assembly comprising an omnidirectional microphone and two orthogonal directional microphones. The omnidirectional microphone signal is connected to a phase lock loop comprising a sweep generator connected to drive a voltage controlled oscillator where the output signal of the oscillator is compared in a phase detector with the microphone signal. Upon registering a match and satisfying a predetermined signal-to-noise ratio the phase lock loop locks on to one spectral component of the microphone signal, the sweep is terminated and the loop tracks the signal by integrating the phase detector output signal and further controlling the oscillator therewith. The integrated detector output signal, or the loop error signal, is connected to an enable unit which produces an enable signal when the error signal is within a predetermined frequency band and exceeds a predetermined amplitude. The enable signal is connected to a plurality of narrow bandpass tracking filters set to pass a frequency determined by the oscillator, the filters being respectively connected to receive the omnidirectional and the directional microphone signals. The enable signal activates each tracking filter and the respective output signals thereof are connected to a frequency converter which converts the signals into respective sidebands. The sidebands are then compared in phase, generating an azimuth signal referenced against magnetic north.

A plurality of processing channels each receive one of a number of direct d secondary signal energy rays. Each channel includes an A/D converter and computer the logic of which is controlled by a Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) algorithm to produce a plurality of data outputs each containing the amplitude and phase information of selected frequencies present in the channel input. To enhance signal detection and minimize signal strength fluctuations, each of the selected frequency outputs of each channel FFT is compared with each identical frequency output of other channel FFT's. Phase compensation means such as a shift register adjusts the phase relationship between all identical FFT outputs to permit their amplitudes to be constructively added. The individual subtotals so produced are totalled to provide an output representing the combined strength of the multi-path signal energy. In particular, medium interfaces such as an air-sea or air-ground interface, produce wide variations in the incoming direction of the signal energy to be detected.

Processing sound signals acquired by a microphone, for example an ambisonic type, to locate a sound source in a space including at least one wall. A time-frequency transform is applied to the acquired signals, and, from the acquired signals, a velocity vector, complex with real and imaginary parts, is expressed in the frequency domain, wherein the velocity vector characterizes a composition between: a first acoustic path, direct between the source and the microphone, represented by a first vector; and a second acoustic path resulting from a reflection on the wall and represented by a second vector. The second path has a first delay with respect to the direct path. Depending on the first delay and the first and second vectors, a parameter is determined from among a direction of the direct path, a distance from the source to the microphone, and a distance from the source to said wall.

An acoustic vector sensor and a method of detecting an acoustic vector are described. An object suspended in the fluid medium by a non-contact support structure. The object and the non-contact support structure are configured so that the object moves in response to any disturbance of the fluid by an acoustic wave; The non-contact support structure of the object comprises a plurality of solenoids that each produce a magnetic field in a fluid medium. A measurement measures movement of the object. A processing device determines an acoustic intensity vector of the acoustic wave based on the measured movement of the object.

An acoustic direction finder which identifies and displays bearing of an underwater received signal without the requirement of scanning the ambient space. The output signals of hydrophones at the ends of a pair of orthogonally located dipoles are applied to differential amplifiers to provide orthogonal dipole response characteristics, and an in-phase sum of the signal at the center of the dipoles is obtained. The differential amplifier output signals are integrated and the resultant signals are applied to individual multiplying means with the sum signal whereby a pair of X and Y coordinate deflection signals are obtained, which are applied to a display device.
