PASSIVE LARGE BAND ACOUSTIC ACQUISITION DEVICES AND PASSIVE LARGE BAND ACOUSTIC IMAGING SYSTEMS.

摘要

The device (3) has multiple microphone sensors (7) generating electric signals representative of acoustic pressure received by the sensors. A processing and digitizing electronics adapts the electric signals generated by the sensors and transforms them into digital signals of acoustic pressure. A transfer electronics transfers the digital signals from the processing and digitizing electronics to a digital processing unit (4). The sensors and the transfer electronics are mounted on a multifunctional rigid support element (17) that incorporates the processing and digitizing electronics. An independent claim is also included for a passive system for broadband acoustic imagery of an observation zone.
