ABSTRACT:
An acoustic imaging system enabling images in two dimensions to be obtained. The system contains an array formed by M transmitter transducers E.sub.1, E.sub.2, . . . E.sub.M, supplying separable coded signals of the same frequency and a reception array with at least one line of hydrophones, H.sub.1, H.sub.2, . . . H.sub.N. The signals such as h.sub.i received by each of the hydrophones are applied to processing circuits such as D.sub.ik supplying signals x.sub.ik and y.sub.ik, which are multiplexed in circuits MX and MY in a given order, placed on a carrier and applied to an analog Fourier transform device with filters dispersive to acoustic waves. After detection, the system supplies a line of images.
