Advances in Sonar Technology
Edited by Sergio Rui Silva, ISBN 978-3-902613-48-6, Hard cover, 450 pages, Publisher: I-Tech Education and Publishing, Published: February 01, 2009 under CC BY-NC-SA 3.0 license, in subject Electrical and Electronic Engineering
The demand to explore the largest and also one of the richest parts of our planet, the advances in signal processing promoted by an exponential growth in computation power and a thorough study of sound propagation in the underwater realm, have lead to remarkable advances in sonar technology in the last years.The work on hand is a sum of knowledge of several authors who contributed in various aspects of sonar technology. This book intends to give a broad overview of the advances in sonar technology of the last years that resulted from the research effort of the authors in both sonar systems and their applications. It is intended for scientist and engineers from a variety of backgrounds and even those that never had contact with sonar technology before will find an easy introduction with the topics and principles exposed here.
