Advances in Sonar Technology

The work on hand is a sum of knowledge of several authors that contributed in various different aspects of sonar technology. This book intends therefore 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 its applications.

Book Description

It is destined to scientist and engineers from a variety of backgrounds and, hopefully, even those that never had contact with sonar technology before will find an easy entrance in the topics and principles exposed here.
