Summary: | This paper presents a universal procedure of the de-embedding of mathematical functions of ratios of maximal ranges depending on the level of suppression of side lobes at the directivity pattern of passive sonar antenna. This dependence is founded on the specially made and named as “idealized model” of measured directivity pattern of a sonar antenna with the model of elliptical cross section of the main lattice perpendicular on acoustic axes. Using the given mathematical expressions of directivity index and dependence of suppression of side lobes at the mentioned idealized model of directivity pattern characteristics with equations of hydrolocations and their conditions, there are relatively simple expressions of ratio of maximum ranges in form of defined function mz. Using the given mathematical function mz there is possible to control the value of all important parameters for the de-embedding of the sonar ranges in its specification. In accordance with given model, there are point out the importance of ratio of ranges of maximum value of level of suppression of side lobes at directivity pattern characteristic with elliptical cross section of main lattice of antenna. Mainly, the level of suppression of side lobes is less than −50 dB at contemporary passive sonars today. |
