It enables users to perform accurate surveys in shallow water with high resolution. This transducer can also be “chirped” with a long pulse over a wide-frequency band. Users with adjustable-frequency echosounders will be able to regulate the operating frequency and tailor the beamwidth to specific survey conditions.
