MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202637059870 A) filed by Tkms Atlas Elektronik Gmbh; and Thyssenkrupp AG on May 11, 2026, for Sonar System For Detecting Extensive, Delimited Inhomogeneities.
Inventor includes Fassbender, Tobias.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: The invention relates to a sonar system (20) for detecting a bubble curtain of spatially extended, delimited inhomogeneities (22) in the water (22), comprising an active sonar (28) and a signal processing unit (30). The active sonar (28) is designed to emit a waterborne sound signal (32) and to receive waterborne sound with reflections (34) of the emitted waterborne sound signal (32) and to convert the waterborne sound into a corresponding electrical signal (36). The signal processing unit (30) is designed to form a working signal on the basis of the electrical signal (36), to detect reverberation of the emitted waterborne sound signal in the working signal and, on the basis of one or more properties of the reverberation of the inhomogeneities, to detect the inhomogeneities, to sense reverberation of the emitted waterborne sound signal (32) in the working signal and, on the basis of properties of the reverberation, to detect the bubble curtain (22). The active sonar (28) is preferably arranged on the bow or laterally on the watercraft.
