Abstract
Present day SAW devices can be used as extremely fast analogue processors with speeds of several tens of Mega-samples per second. Such speeds are required in low frequency multichannel or two-dimensional systems like sonar systems when real time operation is wanted. SAW processors can then be employed provided adequate I/O and interface circuits perform the necessary multiplexing and/or time scaling of the input signals. Compatible digital circuits now exist and full processors can be built which couple both technologies. This presentation will review the basics concerning the SAW and digital technologies. It will next show how they can be applied to particular sonar systems.
