Sonar for Practising Engineers

3. Edition March 2002
XXIV, 298 Pages, Softcover
Practical Approach Book
Short Description
The first book exclusively on sonar and sonar technology. Written by an engineer (with over 40 years of experience in the field) for engineers. Taking an engineering approach rather than a physics/math one it provides an understanding of the basic principles of sonar and develops the formulae and "rules of thumb" for sonar design and performance analysis.
