USBL Transceiver
SCOUT USBL Transceiver
The Type 8024 USBL
transceiver is a lightweight, portable acoustic transmitter and
receiver designed for use with Scout and Ranger USBL systems. Power
and communications are provided by a subsea connector. Constructed
in Aluminium alloy, it is designed to be deployed from a vessel,
typically on a pole over the side. An Aluminium Bronze version is
available for permanent or through hull installations. |

|
The transceiver interrogates
various transponder beacons, captures their replies and
calculates the range, bearing and declination to the target
to determine the x,y,z position relative the transceiver.
Multiple targets can be positioned simultaneously. To compensate
for motion of the transceiver (due dynamic motion of the
vessel for example) the transceiver includes a fully compensated
pitch/roll and magnetic heading sensor.
