Abstract

The paper describes the influence of the signal interference phenomenon on determining the azimuth angle of the signal arrival. This influence is especially important when a method based on measuring the phase shift is used. Such a method is applied in the sonar exploited in the presented research. To demonstrate the influence of the interference effect, a series of preliminary experiments are described and reported.
