  • Abstract
    Acoustic and electromagnetic target seeking systems are generally designed to maximize signal-to-noise ratio in a given environment. In addition, they are sometimes required to discriminate among a multiplicity of simultaneously present targets. To fulfill these objectives, they generally have conflicting requirements placed upon their directional characteristics. A planar transducer array is used to illustrate the problem faced by the designer.
