A sonar transducer comprising a stack of an even number of antennae with identical linear networks. The stack is driven by a reciprocating rotary movement of low amplitude, with the antennae alternately emitting and receiving with each half wavelength of the rotary movement. The emitting antennae as well as the receiving antennae are mutually staggered by an angle equal to the angle of rotation of the assembly. The assembly of receiving antennae are staggered with respect to the assembly of emitting antennae by an angle equal to the phase delay of an emission lobe with respect to the corresponding reception lobe.
