Abstract:

A sonar transducer wherein a plurality of transducer modules are affixed along the length of a mounting member in the form of an elongated bar. The bar is contained within a protective housing and the mid point of the mounting member is affixed to the back wall of the housing in a manner that the mounting member stands off from the back wall of the housing. The mounting member is cantilevered on either side of the mounting position and is totally enclosed within the outer housing which is affixed along its entire length to a host structure so as to isolate and protect the alignment of the transducer modules from distortions.
