Bistatic sonar
open-in-new
<p>Bistatic sonar is a <a href="/facts/Sonar/0Rg2G40e">sonar</a> configuration in which transmitter and receiver are separated by a distance large enough to be comparable to the distance to the target. Most sonar systems are <i>monostatic</i>, in that the transmitter and receiver are located in the same place. A configuration with multiple receivers is called <i>multistatic</i>. </p>
