  • Page 12 F.A.Q. Is dual frequency required? Dual frequency echosounders were originally designed for use by sea going vessels to report reliable, low frequency depths in deep water situations, and more accurate, high frequency navigation within shallow areas. Low frequency is of limited use in shallow hydrographic surveys Reasons are as follows: •...
  • Page 13 Should pitch/roll angle be applied to the depth? Many surveyors assume that sonar is like a laser being shone through the water and that the distance measured should be assumed is a hypotenuse measurement to be trigonometrically corrected by any pitch/roll angle that has been measured. The best physical analogy of the echo sounder beam would be a torch light beam that is shone over an area, within that area there is a small piece of mirror that reflects the light at that point, sonar is very similar except that the reflected point is normally the closest point within the beam.
