ABSTRACT:
A compact apparatus for transmitting and receiving multiple sonar beams utilizes an acoustic lens to direct plane waves incident in desired directions to electroacoustic transducers positioned on spherical shell segments centered in the focal regions of the lens associated with the incident beams. The electroacoustic transducers transmit spherical waves that are transformed by the acoustic lens to plane waves emergent in the desired directions.
