Abstract. Analytical and experimental results of side-scan sonar field are presented. Nearfield and far-field simulation programs are used. A simple technique for measuring the width of the directivity pattern in an acoustic tank is offered.
Key words: side-scan sonar, antenna system, directivity pattern

MODELIRANJE POLJA SONARA SA BOČNIM SKENIRANJEM
Prezentirani su analitički i eksperimentalni rezultati polja sonara sa bočnim skeniranjem. Korišćeni su programi za simulaciju bliskog i dalekog polja. Nudi se prosta tehnika za merenje širine uzorka direktivnosti u akustičkim tankovima.
