  • Page 21 KDS-6000BB Basic knowledge for making use of sonar Surface layer: This layer is greatly affected by the natural phenomena (e.g., sun, wind, rain, etc.) since it is adjacent to the atmosphere. Besides, the propagation route of ultrasonic wave refracts on the boundary where the temperature variations in addition to the difference in temperature between daytime and night are the greatest depending on the temperature distribution.
  • Page 22 (In order to reduce this failure, KDS-6000BB provides a built-in stabilizer function.) (3) Reduction of gain due to traveling noise Noises produced by the engine rotation, propeller rotation, and the friction between the ship’s hull and sea water are mixed into echoes to reduce the detecting gain of echoes.
