The British called it ASDIC (acronym for Anti-Submarine Detection Investigation Committee), the Americans called it sonar. During WW2 it was the main ASW detector against a submerged U-boat of Allied escorts. To evade it, there's a couple of solution:

Firstly, since it's useless against surfaced U-boats, stay above as long as you can and preferably make attacks on the surface at night (till radar appears.)
Secondly, if you have to be underwater, try to dive deeper.
Manoeuvre out of the beam of the escorts, keep your distance and get inside the ASW ship‘s baffles
Try to minimize your silhouette by keeping the aspect angle close to 0° or 180°.
