HYDROACOUSTIC RADIATING PATH Russian patent published in 2022 - IPC H01B7/10 

FIELD: hydroacoustics.

SUBSTANCE: usage: the invention relates to the field of hydroacoustics and is intended for use in hydroacoustic complexes and stations with active sonar detection and hydroacoustic communication modes. Essence: a hydroacoustic path is proposed containing a multi-element antenna 3 of hydroacoustic transducers forming M radiation channels, of which part of the N=mk channels are used to survey a given sector of space in the radiation cycle, as well as m multichannel generating devices (1.1…1.m), each of which contains n groups of k generation channels in each, as well as a digital control device 5 and m digital devices (4.1…4m) for signal generation, moreover, M outputs of multi-channel generator devices are connected to M inputs of a multi-element antenna via a multi-channel unmanaged switch 2, the connection of inputs and outputs of which ensures a uniform distribution of active generation channels between multi-channel generator devices (1.1…1.m) while providing digital generation of the radiation pattern in a given sector of space.

EFFECT: increasing the reliability and energy efficiency of the transmitting equipment of the hydroacoustic radiating path.
