Open publisher page 1 citations

Abstract

A model is developed for use in sonar performance prediction for systems using bistatic echo ranging. A mathematical model of the ocean, suited to performance calculations, is presented. The theoretical pattern for a rectangular array is developed from first principles, and the echo level and background level computations are outlined. This report is intended as a guide for future performance prediction work at TRG.
