Selecting operating frequency for minimum noise
The
Frequency
function is used to control the centre frequency of the acoustic transmissions
(pings). You can select any operational frequency from 70 to 90 kHz. All types of noise
matter when you wish to find the best operating frequency.
Context
A lower frequency gives you a better detection range because the attenuation loss is smaller.
A higher frequency gives you better range resolution. A higher frequency also gives you
narrower beams and a "sharper" image".
Noise from internal and external sources have an impact on the choice of operating
frequency. One specific frequency may perform better than the others on your vessel. To
measure the noise level, observe the value presented on the
Noise
page in the
BITE
dialog
box.
We recommend that you do this test twice. First, do the test with all other hydroacoustic
systems (echo sounders, ADCP, sonars) turned off. Second, do the test with normal
operating conditions. This allows you to see how the other hydroacoustic systems affect the
operation and performance of your CS90 system.
