Introducing Underwater Acoustic Pressure Generator

The Underwater Acoustic Pressure Generator is an advanced underwater acoustic system designed to simulate the acoustic pressure at the very low frequency bandwidth in the acoustic tank or free field. It operates as a noise maker and underwater acoustic signature simulator. The acoustic pressure level can be configured and programmed suitable for any scenario.

The system has the following notable features and capabilities

1. Generation of Hydroacoustic Waves on demand

  • The system can generate acoustic waves tailored to specific requirements, accommodating a variety of testing conditions.

2. Measurement and Storage of Hydroacoustic Parameters

  • The system can simulate parametric acoustic signatures using a patented algorithm.

3. Emission of Hydroacoustic Signal at Noise background

  • The device is capable of emitting hydroacoustic signals at noise background and simulating various targets to test the detection capabilities of hydroacoustic buoys and underwater observation devices.

4. Sound Signal Transmission and Reception Equipment

  • The system includes a signal transmission device operating at frequencies ranging from 100 Hz to 1 kHz. This device can transmit both sine and noise signals, ensuring flexibility in testing scenarios.
  • Additionally, the system features a high-sensitivity signal reception device that monitors underwater sound signals and can calculate the SPL (Sound Pressure Level) of underwater signals, ensuring high accuracy in measurement and analysis.
