FIG. 10

Effect of sweeping the model beam in the vertical plane. The model sonar beam is swept from −60 degrees to +60 degrees in 5 degree increments and the cross-section pattern that would be obtained by the vertical-array is simulated. When the sonar beam orientation is within ±5 degrees of the horizontal the vertical cross-section presents a notched appearance. Larger angles result in only part of one lobe being captured.
