  • Analiza właściwości sonaru z falą ciągłą i modulacją kodową

    Publikacja

    Sonary z falą ciągłą, w odróżnieniu od sonarów impulsowych, mogą być wykorzystywane do quasi ciągłej obserwacji celów oraz jako ciche sonary trudno wykrywalne przez obce systemy nasłuchu (sonary przechwytujące). W sonarach z falą ciągłą stosowana jest zwykle liniowa modulacja częstotliwości, której negatywnym skutkiem są błędy oceny odległości celów, spowodowane efektem Dopplera. W celu ich redukcji autorzy zaproponowali użycie...
