Abstract

A vector hydrophone is composed of two or three spatially collocated but orthogonally oriented velocity hydrophones plus an optional collocated pressure hydrophone. A vector hydrophone may form azimuth-elevation beams that are invariant with respect to the sources' frequencies, bandwidths and radial location (in near field as opposed to the far field). This paper characterizes the spatial matched filter beam patterns (a.k.a. fixed or conventional or maximum signal-to-noise ratio beam patterns) and the minimum variance distortionless response (MVDR) beam patterns associated with a single underwater acoustic vector hydrophone distant from any reflecting boundary.
