The integration of underwater detection and communication uses communication signals to detect a target actively, but the Doppler effect deteriorates the parameter estimation performance of the integrated system. To eliminate the influence of the Doppler effect, a joint Doppler estimation and compensation method based on spectrum zooming and correction is proposed. Firstly, the synchronization signal is used to obtain the signal receiving delay and intercept the single-frequency signal segment in the received signal. Then, the discrete Fourier transform is used to find the frequency that corresponds to the maximum amplitude of the single-frequency signal segment. Finally, the frequency spectrum is refined and corrected within the range near the frequency. The Doppler factor is estimated and the received signal is compensated by the Doppler estimation value. The simulation results show that the proposed method improves Doppler factor estimation accuracy, increases the cross-correlation processing gain and improves DOA (direction of arrival) estimation performance, thus being robust to different Doppler effects.

Marine seismic data acquired with a moving vibrator suffer phase dispersion caused by Doppler shifting of the source sweep function. The dispersion for a particular reflection event depends upon frequency, the type of sweep function, and the Doppler factor associated with that event. Synthetic vibrator data show that, at typical ship speeds, the Doppler factors for steeply dipping events are big enough to cause phase dispersion as large as several hundred degrees. If unaccounted for, such dispersive effects could make a moving marine vibrator unacceptable for imaging steep dips. In a constant‐offset section, the Doppler factor for a reflection event is the product of ship speed and the event’s time dip. That key, simple relationship allows a two‐dimensional f-k filter to remove the phase dispersion caused by the Doppler effect. Comparisons of both synthetic data and Gulf of Mexico field data, before and after application of the phase‐correcting filter, show that the filter improves steep‐dip imaging in marine vibrator data. For the Gulf of Mexico line, steep dips are imaged just as well in the phase‐corrected vibrator data as in air‐gun data.

To interact with the environment efficiently, the nervous system must generate expectations about redundant sensory signals and detect unexpected ones. Neural circuits can, for example, compare a prediction of the sensory signal that was generated by the nervous system with the incoming sensory input, to generate a response selective to novel stimuli. In the first-order electrosensory neurons of a gymnotiform electric fish, a negative image of low-frequency redundant communication signals is subtracted from the neural response via feedback, allowing unpredictable signals to be extracted. Here we show that the cancelling feedback not only suppresses the predictable signal but also actively enhances the response to the unpredictable communication signal. A transient mismatch between the predictive feedback and incoming sensory input causes both to be positive: the soma is suddenly depolarized by the unpredictable input, whereas the neuron's apical dendrites remain depolarized by the lagging cancelling feedback. The apical dendrites allow the backpropagation of somatic spikes. We show that backpropagation is enhanced when the dendrites are depolarized, causing the unpredictable excitatory input to evoke spike bursts. As a consequence, the feedback driven by a predictable low-frequency signal not only suppresses the response to a redundant stimulus but also induces a bursting response triggered by unpredictable communication signals.

The increase in the accuracy of Doppler measurements in space requires a rigorous definition of the observed quantity when the propagation occurs in a moving, and possibly dispersive medium, like the solar wind. This is usually done in two divergent ways: in the phase viewpoint it is the time derivative of the correction to the optical path; in the ray viewpoint the signal is obtained form the deflection produced in the ray. They can be reconciled by using the time derivative of the optical path in the Lagrangian sense, i.e. differentiating from ray to ray. To rigorously derive this result an understanding, through relativistic Hamiltonian theory, of the delicate interplay between rays and phase is required; a general perturbation theorem which generalizes the concept of the Doppler effect as a Lagrangian derivative is proved. Relativistic retardation corrections O(v) are obtained, well within the expected sensitivity of Doppler experiments near solar conjunction.
