Abstract
The possibility is demonstrated of considerably expanding the range of working frequencies of a linear hydroacoustic antenna array by positioning the receiving elements non-equidistantly. The characteristics of an antenna array modeled with allowance for practical limitations are discussed. The results from processing experimental data are presented that show the effectiveness of the proposed technique.

Notes
This approach allows us to determine the width of the main lobe of the antenna pattern (AP) with good accuracy, regardless of the specific arrangement of the elements.
