Deep water signal synthesis in shallow tanks using the method of images
- The method of images exploits the symmetries of small tanks to predict the interference from reflections.
- The model is sensitive to choices in propagation models, but is versatile, and can easily be changed to accommodate more complicated phenomena.
- Simple models of propagation are able to predict large scale structures in the received signal, but struggle with the higher frequency responses.
- Recovering signals requires more complicated models, considering shadow effects, scattering effects, and introducing frequency dependence to the propagator.
