TOPAS PS40

Parametric sub-bottom profiler

TOPAS PS40 is a parametric sub-bottom profiler system for medium ocean depths.

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

TOPAS PS40 comes in 2 different configurations:

PS40 standard
