Dolphins' Hunting Technique Inspires New Radar Device

minty3 writes "The twin inverted pulse radar (TWIPR) made by a team from the University of Southampton in England uses the same technique dolphins do to capture prey. Like dolphins, the device sends out two pulses in quick succession to cancel out background noise. The findings, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A: Mathematical and Physical Sciences, explained how the device resembles the way dolphins send out two pulses in quick succession to cancel out background noise."

Summary incorrect based on article

The researcher did not actually investigate what it is that dolphins do, he thought of what they could possibly do.

I would be more interested in finding out if this is actually the technique dolphins use or do they do something different?

Any good EE already knows this

The number of pulses and the purpose were written in the summary twice in quick succession, to remove background noise.
