Inversion of the Equivalent Electric Dipole Moment of Ship’s Corrosion-Related Static Electric Field in Frequency Domain

When evaluating the ship’s underwater electric field stealth, the underwater electric potential or the underwater electric field is often used, but it is easily affected by the environment conditions. As a result, the evaluating accuracy is not high. To solve this problem, the equivalent electric dipole moment is used as the evaluating factor in this paper. Firstly, the method of inverting the equivalent electric dipole moment in the frequency domain is proposed. However, the limited measuring range will also lead to some errors based on the proposed method. As a result, we improve the proposed method by applying an integral correction which uses a standard dipole source. To test the effectiveness of this method, a simulation experiment is carried out, and the results show that the method has high inversion accuracy even in a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment. This method has provided a new technological approach for evaluating the ship’s corrosion-related static electric field.
