Delphinid Sonar: Pulse Wave and Simulation Studies.
Abstract
The echolocation signals emitted by delphinids have been recorded from a transducer suspended in a test tank. The resulting data have been a confused combination of the characteristics of the source and the targets and the acoustical properties of the test tank. The recent development of techniques for placing transducers on an echoranging animal as well as between and at the targets has made it possible to (1) separate the components of a delphinid echolocation pulse for meaningful analysis, (2) construct a meaningful simulation of delphinid echoranging pulses, (3) define the anatomical area of pulse production; and (4) expand the animal's capability for processing the outgoing signal.
