An investigation of surface waves using a two-axis source-receiver combination
96Jun_Anglin.pdf (1.910Mb)Abstract
The goals of this thesis are (1) to design and test a two-axis surface wave source and two-axis surface wave receiver and (2) to investigate the use of surface waves to detect buried objects in water saturated sand. Results of measurements confirm the ability to generate particle motions in water saturated sand consistent with surface wave excitation. However, limitations in the size of the test tank prohibit a thorough investigation of the ability of the source and receiver to selectively excite and detect surface waves

Source/receiver motion-induced Doppler influence on the bandwidth of sinusoidal signals
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 2003-12);Most self-propelled vessels moving on, or under, the ocean surface, contain rotating machinery that radiate finite bandwidth signals into the water. Empirical evidence suggests that the signal bandwidth estimated with a ... -
Near grazing scattering by slight rough surfaces
(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1978-12);It has been predicted that point source radiation which is at near-grazing incidence to a slightly rough surface generates a boundary wave in the fluid as well as the better known volume wave (I. Tolstoy, J. Acoust. Soc. ... -

(Monterey, California. Naval Postgraduate School, 1995-12);Radio frequency noise is often the limiting factor in the ability of a communications receiver to discern a desired signal from man made interference. The predominate man made radio noise source in the high frequency radio ...
