A nonlinear estimation acoustic transducer based on a variable structure control law

Electronic sensor devices in geophysical processes are required to measure and automate different tasks. Throughout history, people have created multiple type devices, but acoustics have an important application such as the content form description in deep wells, watersheds, lakes, caves, among others. The acoustic signal is capable of reflecting where other types of signals cannot operate, either by drawbacks or where fluid is displaced. A mathematical model is presented in this paper described in state space as a basic acoustic sensor description. The objective is to adjust the parameters allowing the acoustic device to describe a signal in its trajectory, representing in geophysical manner the cavity form. Therefore, the control is performed on the response of the acoustic sensor model, adjusted with a parameter estimation process. The simulation results counts convergence between the reference and identified signals.
