    ____________________________________________________________________________ EML224. The EML224 Compact system works using Kirchoffs right hand rule (based upon Faradays law of generators) which states that a conductor (sea water) moving through a magnetic field (generated in sensor) will produce a current orthogonal to both field and movement. So movement of the vessel through sea water with at least 5 ppt salinity will produce a current across the pins orthogonal to the ships motion.

The Doppler system operates by sending a known frequency sound into the water, and listening to the reflected echo from the minute particles in the water. If the particles are moving towards the sensor, the frequency goes up, if away, the frequency goes down.
