Real-World Measurements of MSS ACODAC Hydrophone Response Patterns

Abstract

One of the experiments performed during the Moored Surveillance System - Field Validation Test (MSS-FVT) was designed to evaluate the real-world beam pattern capabilities of deep ocean DIFAR-like sensors. While beam patterns can be readily measured under controlled conditions, the intent of this analysis was to examine the problem of beamforming in an actual ocean environment. This report examines the simple cardioid beams computer-formed from the outputs of these near-bottom mounted hydrophones.
