Parametric Scaling Laws. Part 2. A Computer Model for Deriving the Performance Characteristics of Saturation-Limited Parametric Sonars

Abstract

This report outlines the procedures used in a computer program for calculating the performance characteristics of saturation-limited parametric transmitters and receivers. The program enables the amplitude and frequency response of such sonars to be evaluated including the amplitude dependence of their far field beam patterns and directivity indices.
