SYSTEM AND TECHNIQUES FOR CONFIGURING A TWO-DIMENSIONAL SEMIREGULAR SPARSE ARRAY OF SONAR DETECTOR ELEMENTS

Abstract:

Technologies for configuring a two-dimensional (2D) semi-regular sparse array of sonar detector elements are disclosed. The 2D array may be formed from a non-uniform one-dimensional (1D) array of non-uniform arrays. The 2D array may be composed of two or more 1D arrays with non-uniform spacing patterns of sonar detector elements in a first direction arranged parallel relative to one another with a non-uniform spacing pattern between the 1D arrays forming a 1D array in a second direction. The output data from the array may be used as input for a beamforming technique.
