(SNR) Signal to Noise Ratio is the ratio of the amplitude of a signal to undesired noise. The larger the signal noise ratio, the easier is the detection and measurement of a signal. The sensitivity of any device is limited by the SNR. The SNR for sound is often expressed in decibel.

The word 'sonar' is derived from 'sound navigation and ranging'. Sonar describes a device that transmits sound waves in water and registers the vibrations reflected back from an object. Sonar is used in detecting objects such as submarines, locating schools of fish, or determining water depth.
