Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for systems and methods to provide a staggered multichannel transducer in a ranging system configured to perform remote sensing. The staggered multichannel transducer may extend in a first direction and one or more transducer elements of the array may offset from the other transducer elements in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. The staggered arrangement of the transducer elements may improve remote sensing performance to produce accurate remote sensing data and/or imagery. The staggered arrangement also may reduce a number of transducer elements used in the transducer array which reduce the cost and complexity of the transducer array. Further, the staggered arrangement in a linear transducer array also allows for two-dimensional beam forming.
