For comparison, the pulse-echo beam-pattern plot measured for an EV_MOD_CH101 when tested without a sensor mounting plate is
shown in Figure 7. The beam pattern has three lobes: a main lobe and two side-lobes that are centered at ±45°. The sensor device will
work well for detecting on-axis targets, but targets located at ±25° will have approximately 70% lower (-10 dB) amplitude, possibly
resulting in poor range-finding performance.
