A Sine Dipole formation using two hydrophones

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on generating a SINE Dipole using two hydrophones in MATLAB, with a specific concern about the 90-degree phase difference observed between the dipole formed from the hydrophones and one formed by multiplying the signal with sin(DOA). The user is confused about the amplitude differences and phase discrepancies in their results. It is noted that the spacing between the hydrophones is a small fraction of the wavelength, leading to nearly in-phase signals. The user seeks clarification on whether their understanding and implementation are correct. The conversation highlights the complexities of signal processing in hydrophone arrays.

Sine dipole formation using two hydrophones
Hi all. I am trying to do MATLAB simulations for generation of SINE Dipole using two hydrophones spaced distance 'd' apart for signal coming from direction 'DOA'. The MATLAB code is given below. The confusion is that there is constant phase difference of 90 degree b/w SINE Dipole generated using difference of two hydrophones and simple SINE Dipole generated by multiplication of signal with sin(DOA). There is also a difference b/w amplitude of two Dipoles. The resultant graph of MATLAB code is also attached.

Am i doing right or something is not right in my understanding?

The distance between the hydrophones is a small fraction of the wavelength, so they are nearly perfectly in phase. That makes the difference between them so small.

##\lambda## is lambda, by the way.
