sonar signal analysis

Sonar signal analysis involves sending sound pulses into the water and listening for echoes that bounce back from objects or the seafloor. By examining the time it takes for these echoes to return and their sound characteristics, analysts can determine the distance, size, shape, and materials of underwater objects. This process uses specialized equipment to interpret the signals, helping in applications like navigation, mapping, and detecting underwater hazards or creatures. Essentially, sonar acts as an underwater “vision,” allowing us to gather detailed information about the submerged environment through sound.
