Abstract
A beluga-like model of click train signal is developed by observing beluga's sound recording. To reproduce the feature of the biosonar signal, this paper uses a signal extracting method with a correction factor of inter-click interval to acquire the parameter of click trains. The extracted clicks were analyzed in the time and frequency domain. Furthermore, a joint pulse-frequency representation was undertaken in order to provide a 2D energy distribution for an echolocation click train. The results from joint pulse-frequency representation indicate that click train can be adjusted its energy distribution by using a multi-component signal structure. To evaluate the capability of the click train to inform the whale of relevant target information perception for the click train, a finite element model is built to reproduce target discrimination by the bio-inspired click train. Numerical results indicate that the bio-inspired click train could enhance the echo-response by concentrating energy into the frequency bins for extracting target feature effectively. This proof-of-concept study suggests that the model of click train could be dynamically controlled to match the target properties, and show a promising way to use various types of echolocation click train to interrogate different features of the target by man-made sonar.
期刊介绍：
Bioinspiration & Biomimetics publishes research involving the study and distillation of principles and functions found in biological systems that have been developed through evolution, and application of this knowledge to produce novel and exciting basic technologies and new approaches to solving scientific problems. It provides a forum for interdisciplinary research which acts as a pipeline, facilitating the two-way flow of ideas and understanding between the extensive bodies of knowledge of the different disciplines. It has two principal aims: to draw on biology to enrich engineering and to draw from engineering to enrich biology.
The journal aims to include input from across all intersecting areas of both fields. In biology, this would include work in all fields from physiology to ecology, with either zoological or botanical focus. In engineering, this would include both design and practical application of biomimetic or bioinspired devices and systems. Typical areas of interest include:
Systems, designs and structure
Communication and navigation
Cooperative behaviour
Self-organizing biological systems
Self-healing and self-assembly
Aerial locomotion and aerospace applications of biomimetics
Biomorphic surface and subsurface systems
Marine dynamics: swimming and underwater dynamics
Applications of novel materials
Biomechanics; including movement, locomotion, fluidics
Cellular behaviour
Sensors and senses
Biomimetic or bioinformed approaches to geological exploration.
