Hydrophone Line Array

Application ID: 139611


A line array of eleven spherical hydrophones embedded in a neoprene coating is modeled in 3D. The sensitivity of the array is analyzed with regard to varying angles of incidence of the background pressure field. The array directivity function is computed and compared to the analytical solution for an ideal line array. Furthermore, a delay and sum beamformer is implemented to direct the receive signal toward a preferred look angle.

This model example illustrates applications of this type that would nominally be built using the following products:
