A parametric synthetic aperure sonar for detection of proud and buried mines
Fioravanti, Stefano; Maguer, Alain; Lovik, A. (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1997/12)This paper describes an experimental comparison between a parametric sonar and a conventional sonar for the detection of small objects on and in, the sea bed. Two experiments were performed in France (GESMA site) in October ... -
Accuracy of synthetic aperture sonar micronavigation using a displaced phase centre antenna
Pinto, Marc A.; Fioravanti, Stefano; Bovio, Edoardo (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1999/02)This work evaluates the accuracy of multi-element synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) micronavigation based on the concept of displaced phase centre antenna (DPCA). The Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) for the joint estimation of ... -
The application of parametric side scan sonar to the detection of proud and buried targets
Bovio, Edoardo; Maguer, Alain; Fioravanti, Stefano (NATO. SACLANTCEN, 1998/01)This paper describes an experiment designed to evaluate the feasibility of using the TOPAS parametric transmitter mounted in side scan mode, for the detection of buried targets. The concept was tested with proud targets ...
