Conventionally, in this type of acoustic homing device for underwater vehicles, the main axes of the transmitting beam and the receiving beam are fixed with respect to the axial direction of the underwater vehicle. When searching for
The direction of the principal axis of the received beam deviates over time with respect to the direction in which it was transmitted, which greatly impairs the transmitting and receiving sensitivity product.

In addition, in order to reduce the decrease in the transmitting and receiving sensitivity product, attempts have been made to shift the axis of the transmitting beam by a certain angle in the rotation direction from the beginning or to widen the directivity width of the receiving beam. Shifting the wave beam limits the movement of the underwater vehicle, and widening the receiving beam's directional width has disadvantages such as increased susceptibility to noise.
