  • System and method of operation thereof for increasing acoustic bandwidth of transmitting devices
    Patent number: 7430152
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system, and a method of operation thereof, which improves the RF link employed between a transmitting sonobuoy and an associated receiving aircraft. The sonobuoy receives acoustic information from hydrophones and transmits this information to the aircraft, via beams having a predetermined frequency spectrum. The system breaks the total frequency spectrum of the beams into sub-bands. The sub-bands are multiplexed on the RF link interconnecting the sonobuoy to the aircraft. More particularly, the frequency spectrum defining an acoustic bandwidth of about 750 Hz is broken into a selected number (e.g., 6 or 4) of sub-bands and multiplexed onto and forming the RF link.
