EM®SBP
Sub-bottom profiling with EM304/-124
EM®SBP gives you as a user of EM® 304 or EM® 124 multibeam echo sounders the unique opportunity to add sub-bottom data to your survey, without needing to buy or install sub-bottom specific transducers or electronics.
Software system
EM SBP is a software system that offers sub-bottom profiling capability with the Kongsberg deep water multibeam echo sounder systems EM 124 and EM 304. No hardware beyond a separate PC is required
EM SBP “borrows” the EM multibeam hardware for TX/RX of the sub-bottom signals. The EM®SBP software can instruct the EM 124/304 multibeam echo sounder system to make sub-bottom signal instead of the multibeam fan of signals at a given interval. The sequence of sub-bottom versus multibeam signals, or pings, is user selectable.
The sub-bottom signals can be in the native primary frequency range, or they can be parametric signals generated within the available multibeam bandwidth.
The EM®SBP software configures the sub-bottom transmit and receive parameters, processes the data, creates sub-bottom images, and logs the sub-bottom data to file.
Performance
The performance is given by the multibeam system in use, the available frequency range, the source level and the beam width
EM SBP can be used with the EM 304 mk1 and mk2 systems, and it can be used with the EM 124 system.
