Abstract:A modeling tool for 3-D Forward-Look Sonar (3-D-FLS) or equivalent has been developed. The model replicates the entire process of a 3-D Forward-Look sonar generating a 3-D image of a target. The 3-D-FLS operates at a central frequency of 225 kHz and has a range of 100 m. The transmitted signal is a frequency-modulated chirp with 30 kHz of bandwidth. The source is a line array and the projector is a 64-element line array. Ray theory is used to calculate the trajectory of the rays. The model takes sound velocity… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
