About the Book

Important topics that are fundamental to the understanding of modern-day Sonar Systems Engineering are discussed. Linear, planar, and volume array theory; including near-field and far-field beam patterns, beam steering, and array focusing are covered. Real-world arrays such as the twin-line planar array and a linear array of triplets, which are solutions to the port/starboard (left/right) ambiguity problem associated with linear towed arrays, are discussed in detail.

Detailed explanations of the fundamentals of side-looking (side-scan) and synthetic-aperture sonars are presented. Bistatic scattering with moving platforms is covered with derivations of exact solutions for the time delay, time-compression/time-expansion factor, and Doppler shift at a receiver for both the scattered and direct acoustic paths. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions, and the design of CW, LFM, and Doppler-invariant HFM pulses are discussed. Target detection in the presence of reverberation and noise is covered. Time-domain and frequency-domain descriptions of MFSK, MQAM, and OFDM underwater acoustic communication signals are also covered.

Although the book is mathematically rigorous, it is written in a tutorial style. Many useful, practical design and analysis equations for both passive and active sonar systems are derived from first principles. No major steps in the derivation of important results are skipped - all assumptions and approximations are clearly stated. Particular attention is paid to the correct units for functions and parameters. Many figures, tables, examples, and practical homework problems at the end of each chapter are included to aid in the understanding of the material covered.

New to the Second Edition:

  • Chapter 15 Synthetic-Aperture Sonar
  • Chapter 13, Section 13.3, The Rectangular-Envelope HFM Pulse
  • Chapter 10, Section 10.7, Moving Platforms, was rewritten which allowed the elimination of Appendix 10C from the First Edition
  • New explanations/discussions added to Subsections 1.2.1 and 1.3.1 in Chapter 1
  • Appendix 1A was rewritten and the new Table 1A-1 was added in Chapter 1

About the Author: Dr. Lawrence J. Ziomek is a Professor Emeritus from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, CA. His teaching interest include Probabilistic Analysis of Signals and Systems, Sonar Systems Engineering, Signal Detection and Estimation, Introduction to Communication and Counter-Measures and Advanced Topics in Sonar Systems Engineering.
