2.3 Transceiver Unit
The transceiver unit contains the system transmitter and receiver boards and is
responsible for the following functions:

Generates a synthesized calibration signal at power-on and injects it into
the receivers for use by the sonar processor.

Generates the transmit pulse and sends it to the projector array.

Receives reflected acoustic pulses from the receive array.

Amplifies, band-shifts, and multiplexes hydrophone signals, then sends
them to the sonar processor via the signal and control cable.
NOTE
The only operator control on the transceiver unit is the On/Off power isolation
switch on the rear panel. Once this switch is set to “On,” all power is controlled
by the sonar processor.
