Description
Summary:Hydroacoustic parametric systems and methods of nonlinear acoustics in the investigation of the Ocean and the Arctic shelf are considered. A short description of the most promising directions of development of hydroacoustic systems with parametric radiating antennas is given. Characteristics of parametric devices are given, and the results of their applications to solve various problems of hydroacoustics are considered. We discuss new opportunities, which appear when applying parametric antennas, to illuminate underwater environment by autonomous underwater vehicles, and to ensure their navigation along the paths. The results of studies demonstrating single-mode excitation of a waveguide in a wide frequency band, of a parametric antenna, are presented. The possibility of broadband signal compression during its propagation in the result of waveguide dispersion, which leads to intensity increase, is shown. The ways of modernization and the prospective of application of the hydroacoustic means, using nonlinear acoustics methods, are discussed.
