Split Beam Transducer: Target Angle Estimation

BII-7550 Series Split Beam Transducer: Target Angle Estimation

BII's Four-quadrant split beam transducers are designed to estimate bearing and locate underwater targets, and support phase extraction or amplitude comparison methods to measure the bearing of the sound sources. That which method is used depends on the signal processing in software/electronic hardware and the signal properties.
Transmit: 4 sectors are wired together in parallel to transmit sounds underwater.
Receive: 4 sectors receive sounds underwater individually as a four quadrants receiver, or 4 sectors are wired together to receive sounds underwater as a single beam receiver.

Technical Notes

The quadrant array is separately beam formed. The signals from the direction (Ψ, Φ) will result in the phase contributions to the single-frequency directivity patterns functions of the array. With signal processing technologies, the spatial angle (Ψ, Φ), which can be computed quantitatively, indicates the target direction.
