The S-Matrix and Sonar Echo Structure.

Abstract

Pulse mode sonar operation is analyzed under the physical hypotheses that the medium is a stationary homogenous fluid; both the sonar system and the scattering objects are stationary; the scattering objects are rigid bodies; and the scattering objects lie in the far field of the transmitter and receiver.
