The word sonar is an abbreviation for SOund, NAvigation, and Ranging. A sonar system consists of a transmitter, transducer, receiver, and display. In the simplest terms, an electrical impulse from a transmitter is converted into a sound wave by the transducer and sent into the water. When this wave strikes an object, it rebounds. This echo strikes the transducer, which converts it back into an electric signal. This signalisthen amplified by the receiver and sent to the display. Since the speed of sound in water is constant in a given locale at a given time (approximately 4800 feet per second), the time lapse between the transmitted signal and the received echo can be 4/22/12 measured and the distance to the object determined. This process
