Sonar Systems

Multipath underwater sound channel propagation, sound sources and receivers, radiated noise, sonar target strength, sonar equation, sonar equation app

The Phased Array System Toolbox™ lets you model sonar systems from source to a receiver including the effects of target reflection, multipath propagation, and noise interference. These applications illustrate active and passive detection and localization.

Featured Examples

Underwater Target Detection with an Active Sonar System

Underwater Target Detection with an Active Sonar System

Simulate an active monostatic sonar scenario with two targets. The sonar system consists of an isotropic projector array and a single hydrophone element. The projector array is spherical in shape. The backscattered signals are received by the hydrophone. The received signals includes both direct and multipath contributions.

Locating an Acoustic Beacon with a Passive Sonar System

Locating an Acoustic Beacon with a Passive Sonar System

Simulate a passive sonar system. A stationary underwater acoustic beacon is detected and localized by a towed passive array in a shallow-water channel. The acoustic beacon transmits a 10 millisecond pulse at 37.5 kilohertz every second, and is modeled as an isotropic projector. The locator system tows a passive array beneath the surface, which is modeled as a uniform linear array. Once the acoustic beacon signal is detected, a direction of arrival estimator is used to locate the beacon.
