Swept Frequency Source - Acoustic Tomography
Available as an integrated package including projector, signal generator, amplifier, microprocessor controller, and batteries
For acoustic tomography, RAFOS, and other applications
Maximum operating depth: 6000m
New acoustic projector design capable of swept-frequency output under digital control. Available as an integrated package including projector, signal generator, amplifier, microprocessor controller, and batteries. Available as a transceiver modification, which integrated with 4-channel acoustic STAR receiver (SCRIPPS), included a hybrid Rubidium low consumption clock and underwater acoustic navigation.
Intended for long-term moored applications in depths to 6000m.
The organ-pipe projector is not gas compensated, and has unlimited operating depth.
