Abstract

This invention is a hydrophone (element) sited beamformer which is coupled to an array cable of a horizontal line array. A hydrophone-sited beamformer is coupled to each hydrophone in the array. The element-sited beamformer directly forms beams from the data detected by the hydrophones by delaying and selecting some of the hydrophone detected data and summing this data with the proper shading value.
