| Abstract |
This paper proposes a solution to generate sector beam patterns for a sparse cylindrical sonar array (SCSA) based on construction of a mathematical expression and analysis of simulation results. With the proposed solution, the width and position of the sector beam pattern can be changed according to the number and positions of active columns in the array. The validation and effectiveness of the proposed solution are demonstrated with simulation results of sector beam patterns from different sector angles. |
