Abstract
Controller and method for determining a driving signal of a vibro-acoustic source element that is configured to generate acoustic waves in water. The method includes estimating at least one physical constraint of the vibro-acoustic source element; modeling a ghost function determined by a surface of the water; setting a target energy spectrum density to be emitted by the vibro-acoustic source element during the driving signal; and determining the driving signal in a controller based on at least one physical constraint, the ghost function, and the target energy spectrum density.
