Difference between Side-scan sonar and Sonar

Side-scan sonar vs. Sonar

Side-scan sonar (also sometimes called side scan sonar, sidescan sonar, side imaging sonar, side-imaging sonar and bottom classification sonar) is a category of sonar system that is used to efficiently create an image of large areas of the sea floor. Sonar (originally an acronym for SOund Navigation And Ranging) is a technique that uses sound propagation (usually underwater, as in submarine navigation) to navigate, communicate with or detect objects on or under the surface of the water, such as other vessels.

Similarities between Side-scan sonar and Sonar

Side-scan sonar and Sonar have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Beamforming, Echo sounding, Frequency, GLORIA sidescan sonar, Hertz, Hull (watercraft), Sonar 2087, Submarine, Synthetic aperture sonar, Transducer.

Beamforming

Beamforming or spatial filtering is a signal processing technique used in sensor arrays for directional signal transmission or reception.

Echo sounding

Echo sounding is a type of sonar used to determine the depth of water by transmitting sound pulses into water.

Hertz

The hertz (symbol: Hz) is the derived unit of frequency in the International System of Units (SI) and is defined as one cycle per second.

Sonar 2087

Sonar 2087 is a towed array sonar designed and manufactured by Thales Underwater Systems at sites in the UK (Cheadle Heath in Stockport and Templecombe in Somerset) and in France (Brest).

Synthetic aperture sonar

Synthetic aperture sonar (SAS) is a form of sonar in which sophisticated post-processing of sonar data are used in ways closely analogous to synthetic aperture radar.
