Abstract

An array plate for use in an underwater craft. The craft having an array of sonar elements which has a selected range of operating frequencies. The array plate having at least one layer of material in which the layer(s) of material are designed to have selected natural frequencies of vibration throughout the range of sonar operating frequencies. The natural frequencies resulting in standing waves having selected wavelengths that develop along the layer(s) of material. The sonar elements are mounted upon the layer(s) of material such that adjacent sonar elements are spaced apart a distance of one half the average wavelength of the standing waves.
