•Implementation of a low-cost system and software, based on a “Not-Uniform Linear Array” is possible;
•Good agreement between the estimated and theoretical values of array directivity.
•Good capability of the system to detect real angle of incoming sound (DOA), especially at medium-high frequencies (greater directivity). (Passive sonar)
•Identification of submerged objects placed in a wide angle under the array is possible. (Active sonar)
•The linear sine sweep shows high SNR, high immunity to external noise and good capability to penetrate in the sediments.
•Test of the penetration performance for the new array system.
Conclusion
Future Work
