Abstract :
A 12-W 200-kHz RF transmitter, a 10-W neon lamp display, and novel circuitry have been combined to realize a complete sonar system on a single monolithic chip which does not require any costly alignment adjustments. A single inductance-capacitance (LC) resonator is time-shared between the receiver and the transmitter to reduce external parts, to eliminate alignment labor, and to guarantee that the received signal is always the proper frequency.
