TOPAS PS120

Parametric sub-bottom profiler

TOPAS PS120 is a parametric sub-bottom profiler system for shallow waters.

Concept

The idea of a parametric sub-bottom system is to use higher frequencies to generate the low frequencies that you need for sub-bottom profiling. The parametric conversion is a physical process that happens in the water when two signals with high SL is transmitted, the low frequency differential signal – or the parametric signal is created. A benefit of this principle is that you can do high performance sub-bottom profiling with smaller transducer arrays.

Configurations
