The final, formatted version of the article will be published soon.

To enhance the capability of active sonar for oceanic detection,a signal design method based on an auto-encoder network is devised in this paper. In this method, a randomly normalized phase sequence is put into the network and it is optimized by minimizing the peak side-lobe level of the phase sequence. Compared with the existing methods,the network structure is adjusted to further consider the transmitted signal design under the Doppler frequency shift. Simulation results show that the designed signals perform better than the existing method under Doppler frequency shift.
