This paper introduces a method of passive acoustic location for minehunting sonar. The anti-hunting mine adopts passive acoustic homing.,The adaptive notch filter is used to estimate the envelope,frequency,and phase difference of the narrowband pulse signal emitted by minehunting sonar. Time delay is estimated through coarse measurement of delay inequality and fine measurement of phase difference. The means above is feasible not only to CW pulses,but also to frequency modulated and frequency hopping signal. Simulation results and sea trials show this method is valid and viable.
