ABSTRACT:
An acoustic sensor and projector module for sonar applications includes a first acoustic transducer element operating as a projector to generate an acoustic beam, and a second acoustic transducer element acting as a hydrophone to sense pressure wave returns. When the second acoustic transducer element operates in a sensing mode, the first acoustic transducer element serves in conjunction with a baffle structure to baffle acoustic signals presented to the hydrophone. Similarly, when the first transducer element operates in a projecting mode to generate an acoustic beam, the second transducer element acts in combination with a baffle structure to baffle acoustic signals emitted by the projector.
