Array signal processing applications in sonar
Array signal processing in sonar involves using multiple sensors, or arrays, to detect and analyze underwater sounds. By combining signals from these sensors, the system can pinpoint the location of objects, like submarines or schools of fish, more accurately than with a single sensor. This technology enhances sound clarity, reduces noise interference, and improves the ability to determine direction. Essentially, it allows sonar systems to create a clearer picture of the underwater environment, leading to better navigation, surveillance, and resource management in maritime operations.
