2 HIPAP® SYSTEM – SHORT DESCRIPTION
2.1 Systems
The HiPAP® systems are designed to provide accurate positions
of subsea objects such as Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs),
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), towed bodies or fixed
seabed transponders. To achieve the accuracy, the HiPAP®
system uses unique signal processing techniques. This technique
enables narrow transmitter and receiver beams to be generated
in all directions within the lower half of the transducer using
electronic beam control.
The HiPAP® Model 501/451/351/101 systems are the second
generation HiPAP® systems. These models have a new
transceiver unit and a new signal processing algorithms for
Cymbal processing.
Cymbal is KM’s new acoustic protocol for positioning and
communication.
All HiPAP® systems; HiPAP® 501, HiPAP® 451, HiPAP®
351 and HiPAP® 101 have common software and hardware
platforms, and thereby offer the same kind of additional
functionality and options.

The HiPAP® 501, HiPAP® 451, HiPAP® 351 systems are
medium frequency systems operating from 21 kHz to 31 kHz.

The HiPAP® 101 system is a low frequency system
operating from 10 kHz to 15.5 kHz.
