    SONAR is a system that uses transmitted and reflected sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects. It was first invented in 1906 to detect icebergs, but its use increased during WWI to detect submarines. The first active SONAR devices were developed in the late 1910s, emitting sound pulses and receiving echoes. SONAR stands for SOund Navigation and Ranging. It is classified into active and passive types. Active SONAR emits sound pulses and receives echoes to determine distances, while passive SONAR only listens for sounds without emitting pulses. Both have military and scientific applications such as detecting submarines, mapping ocean floors, and obstacle avoidance for underwater robots.

    What is SONAR ?
    Sonar

    is a system that uses transmitted and reflected underwater sound waves to detect and locate submerged objects or measure the distances underwater.

    The

    detection, classification and localization performance of a sonar depends on the environment and the receiving equipment.

    History of SONAR.
    Lewis

    Nixon invented the very first Sonar type listening device in 1906, as a way of detecting icebergs. Interest in Sonar was increased during World War I when there was a need to be able to detect submarines.

    In 1915, Paul Langvin invented the first sonar type device for detecting submarines called an "echo location to detect submarines" using the piezoelectric properties of the quartz. The first Sonar devices were passive listening devices - no signals were sent out. By 1918, both Britain and the U.S had built active systems, in active Sonar signals are both sent out and then received back.

    Why the name SONAR ?


    The word Sonar is an American term first used in World War II, it is an acronym for SOund, NAvigation and Ranging. The British also call Sonar, ASDICS, which stands for Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee.

    The

    frequencies used in sonar systems vary from very low to extremely high.

    Types of SONAR
    is classified into two different categories: 1. Active SONAR 2. Passive SONAR
    SONAR

    Active SONAR
    Active sonar uses a sound transmitter and a receiver for its operations. Active sonar creates a pulse of sound, often called a "ping", and then listens for reflections of the pulse. The pulse may be at constant frequency or a chirp of changing frequency.

    In general, long-distance active sonar's use lower frequencies. To measure the distance to an object, one measures the time from emission of a pulse to reception. Application of Active SONAR: Transponder: This is an active sonar device that receives a stimulus and immediately retransmits the received signal or a predetermined signal. Active sonar may harm marine animals.

    Passive SONAR
    Passive

    sonar's listen without transmitting. They are often employed in military although a few are used in scientific applications. Passive sonar systems usually have large sonic databases.

    Passive

    sonar has a wide variety of techniques for identifying the source of a detected sound. Intermittent sound sources may also be detectable to passive sonar. Passive sonar has several advantages, most importantly, it is silent. It requires high-tech components (band-pass filters, receivers), and it is costly.

    Application of SONAR.
    SONAR

    Sensor is an application of

    SONAR. Sonar sensors are often used in robots for obstacle avoidance, navigation and map building Much of the early work was based on a device developed by Polaroid for camera range finding.

    Sonar sensors work by


    emitting a short burst of ultrasonic sound (often

    40 kHz) sensing reflected signals if there are any. computing object distance by using the elapsed time.
