Popis: Matched mode processing is an efficient alternative to matched field processing for locating a source in an acoustic waveguide. The successful application of this method relies on the accurate modal decomposition of the pressure data received on a vertical line array. From the modes that can be resolved by a given array aperture, the source range is determined from modal phases, whereas the source depth is determined from the mode shapes. In this paper, we describe a decomposition method based on the parabolic equation (PE) propagation model for recovering this modal information from vertical array data and which can be used to localize an underwater source by the matched mode processing method. We apply our PE-based decomposition/localization scheme to several benchmark problems involving a narrowband acoustic source operating in a shallow water environment.
