  • Page 27: Towfish

    Theory of Operation The Series 5000 departs from previous multibeam systems in that the swath forming process is implemented digitally using digital signal processing (DSP), rather than analog delay lines, phase shifters, or multipliers and adders. The primary advantage of this technique is a reduction in the size and weight of the towfish.

    CHAPTER 1 Overview Figure 1-3: Towfish Block Diagram Transmitter board. The Transmitter board produces a transmit pulse, at the start of a swath, that illuminates the sea floor over a defined footprint. The pulse length is nominally 100 µs. The Transmitter board is composed of six individual transmitting channels, each of which is connected to two sub-arrays of both the port and starboard transducer.

    Theory of Operation to allow the receive signals to enter a fixed gain low noise preamplifier stage. The output of the preamplifier is input to a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) which performs the TVG function. The gain versus time relationship, TVG, that is applied identically to all channels is digitally synthesized from a predefined curve stored in a PROM on the Multiplexer board.

    CHAPTER 1 Overview Figure 1-4: Towfish Connector—at Towfish 1.4.3 Transceiver and Processing Unit The TPU provides signal processing along with the system control and data telemetry functions. The TPU is composed of three circuit boards: an embedded CPU board, a Demultiplexer board, and a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) board. The TPU also contains a 200-volt towfish power supply and a TPU power supply.
  • Page 31 Theory of Operation CPU board. The CPU board is an embedded MVME-5100-based processor board that enables external control of the TPU by a PC connected via an Ethernet 100BaseT local area network (LAN), providing control over system functions. All functions, including communicating the operating parameters to the DSP and extracting sensor data from the Demultiplexer board, are communicated over the LAN.
