a. Vertical resolution is the smallest distinguishable distance between the peaks of two reflections that can be displayed on the screen as separate reflectors. Sound energy is reflected back to the sonar system when the transmitted pulse encounters a change in density. The resolution of a sonar system is measured by its ability to distinguish between two adjacent targets. -
