  • Abstract
    A broadband time domain reverberation and clutter model has been developed to aid in the development of a better understanding of the environmental and system characteristics which drive sonar clutter in inhomogeneous waveguides. The theoretical background of the model is presented and its ability to model both diffuse background reverberation levels and clutter characteristics for a site on the Malta Plateau south of Sicily are evaluated
