Coded signals: a challenge for acoustic wind profiling (2008)
Presentation / Conference
von Hünerbein, S., & Bradley, S. (2008, November). Coded signals: a challenge for acoustic wind profiling. Presented at 156th Meeting: Acoustical Society of America, Miami, FL, USA

Use of coded signals for acoustic wind profiling presents special challenges because the scattering mechanism is highly bandwidth sensitive. We outline the physical principles involved and show that the signal coding methods commonly used for underwa... Read More about Coded signals: a challenge for acoustic wind profiling.
