ABSTRACT:
A sonar system comprises a transmitter adapted to provide pulse sequences, wherein each of the pulse sequences includes pulses that reflect off an object, a receiver adapted to receive the reflected pulses, and a processor. The processor is configured to transmit a first pulse sequence via the transmitter to obtain a first distance to the object in a first distance range and to transmit a second pulse sequence via the transmitter to obtain a second distance to the object in a second distance range. The processor is configured to transmit the second pulse sequence in response to being unable to obtain the first distance to the object in the first distance range.
