ABSTRACT:
An acoustic direction finder which identifies and displays bearing of an underwater received signal without the requirement of scanning the ambient space. The output signals of hydrophones at the ends of a pair of orthogonally located dipoles are applied to differential amplifiers to provide orthogonal dipole response characteristics, and an in-phase sum of the signal at the center of the dipoles is obtained. The differential amplifier output signals are integrated and the resultant signals are applied to individual multiplying means with the sum signal whereby a pair of X and Y coordinate deflection signals are obtained, which are applied to a display device.
