Introducing the Underwater Transceiver System

The Underwater Transceiver System is for digital calibration of underwater acoustic transducers used in underwater applications such as ocean bottom profiling, underwater telephony etc. Special techniques have been employed taking into consideration various requirements of calibration principles, limitations of water medium, frequency range of operation  and type of parameter to be measured. 

The TM06TR system includes:

  • Electronic devices serving transceivers and testing include multi-channel standard transceiver systems and standard signal generators.
  • Standard transceiver signal processing system: 8 receiver channels / 6 transmitter channels – meets the needs of monitoring and detecting underwater signals.
  • The Underwater Acoustic Record and Analysis (TM06SW) application software for measuring functions.
