Popis: Remote passive sonar detection with low-frequency band spectral lines has attracted much attention, while complex low-frequency non-Gaussian impulsive noisy environments would strongly affect the detection performance. This is a challenging problem in weak signal detection, especially for the high false alarm rate caused by heavy-tailed impulsive noise. In this paper, a novel matched stochastic resonance (MSR)-based weak signal detection model is established, and two MSR-based detectors named MSR-PED and MSR-PSNR are proposed based on a theoretical analysis of the MSR output response. Comprehensive detection performance analyses in both Gasussian and non-Gaussian impulsive noise conditions are presented, which revealed the superior performance of our proposed detector under non-Gasussian impulsive noise. Numerical analysis and application verification have revealed the superior detection performance with the proposed MSR-PSNR detector compared with energy-based detection methods, which can break through the high false alarm rate problem caused by heavy-tailed impulsive noise. For a typical non-Gasussian impulsive noise assumption with α=1.5, the proposed MSR-PED and MSR-PSNR can achieve approximately 16 dB and 22 dB improvements, respectively, in the detection performance compared to the classical PED method. For stronger, non-Gaussian impulsive noise conditions corresponding to α=1, the improvement in detection performance can be more significant. Our proposed MSR-PSNR methods can overcome the challenging problem of a high false alarm rate caused by heavy-tailed impulsive noise. This work can lay a solid foundation for breaking through the challenges of underwater passive sonar detection under non-Gaussian impulsive background noise, and can provide important guidance for future research work.
