  • Sonar with enhanced non-target scatter suppression
    Patent number: 11513215
    Abstract: Disclosed is a SONAR system operable to transmit a pair of pulses including an up-chirp signal and a down-chirp signal wherein the down-chirp signal is a time-reversed version of the up-chirp signal. Also disclosed is a related method of operation.
    Type: Grant

  • CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT BETWEEN LINEAR AND NONLINEAR SCATTERERS
    Publication number: 20100286514
    Abstract: A method for creating an acoustic observation of a target volume, the method comprising the steps of transmitting a group of at least two acoustic pulses towards the target volume, receiving at least one detector an echo of the group scattered from the target volume, the echo having linear and nonlinear components, processing the scattered signal in such a way as to enhance at least part of the nonlinear component (and suppress the linear component) of the scattered signal in a signal P+, processing the scattered signal in such a way as to suppress at least part of the nonlinear component (and enhance the linear component) of the scattered signal in a signal P?, and producing a detection signal from a mathematical combination of the signals P+ and P?.
