TY - CHAP AU - Sérgio Rui Silva AU - Sérgio Cunha AU - Aníbal Matos AU - Nuno Cruz ED - Sergio Rui Silva Y1 - 2009-02-01 PY - 2009 T1 - Synthetic Aperture Techniques for Sonar Systems N2 - 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.
