  • Wideband sonar receiver and sonar signal processing algorithms
    Patent number: 11385348
    Abstract: A wideband sonar receiver is provided that includes: a selectable bandpass filter adapted to filter a received sonar signal to produce a filtered signal and a correlator adapted to correlate the baseband samples with baseband replica samples to provide a correlated signal. In addition, the wideband sonar receiver may include a shaping filter to shape unshaped received pulses. Finally, a variety of sonar processing algorithms are described with regard to reducing clutter and interference, target detection, and bottom detection.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 28, 2019
    Date of Patent: July 12, 2022
    Assignee: Teledyne FLIR, LLC
