Methods of clutter modeling for development testing of hydroacoustic systems

The paper considers an approach to the construction of a clutter model used in software of the technological part of the test bench for simulation and development testing of hydroacoustic systems. Simulation of clutter on antenna arrays is a rather complex independent task important from the point of view of ensuring the correct SNR for the simulated noise sources at the antenna input. The existing methods of clutter simulation are presented and a new approach is proposed that eliminates the existing drawbacks while maintaining high performance.
