Page 17: Overview
The 3300-HM SBP system generates virtually no side lobes, due to the wide bandwidth of the sweep frequency. This bandwidth has an effect of smearing the side lobes of the transducer, resulting in a beam pattern with almost no side lobes. -
Page 18: Transducer Array
1.1.2 Transducer Array Acoustic projectors in the 3300-HM SBP system are constructed from wideband, piston-type transducers and the acoustic receivers are a discrete line array of PZT crystals. The acoustic hull-mounted transducers are designed for profiling at ship speeds varying from zero (drifting) to 7 knots. -
Page 19: Reduction Of Side Lobes And High Repeatability
is nearly preserved. Thus, even after being attenuated by sand, the acoustic pulse has approximately the same resolution as an un-attenuated pulse. 1.1.5 Reduction of Side Lobes and High Repeatability Full Spectrum sonar has the unique ability to reduce side lobes in the effective transducer aperture. The wide bandwidth of the sweep frequency has the effect of smearing the side lobes of the transducer and thus achieving a beam pattern with virtually no side lobes. -

Page 23: Transducer Array
1.2.3 Transducer Array The transducers for the 3300-HM SBP are mounted in a two-dimensional array inside a closed well on board a survey vessel. These transducers act as both projectors and hydrophones. EdgeTech offers a range of transducer arrays, each designed to provide various beam widths. In general, lower operating frequencies require multiple receiving arrays and larger transducers, therefore requiring different array sizes. -

Page 35: Array Sizes
2-11 2.5.1 Array Sizes Selection of array size depends on transducer type (KT-216 or KT-106) and the geological survey application. The important decision parameter is the water depth in which the system is to be used. For most deployments to 3000 meters, a 4 x 4 array will provide the needed performance. A 2 x 2 array should be considered only for coastal application and water depths to 300 meters. -

Page 52: Topside Installation
4.2.1 Power Supply The system power requirements are 120–220 VAC, 50/60 Hz. For the 3300-HM SBP Topside Processor, the input voltage is auto sensing. For the Power Amplifier, you must select 120 VAC or 220 VAC operation manually. -
Page 53: Navigation Interface
EdgeTech document PN 0016695. The transducer arrays for the 3300-HM SBP system are mounted to the bottom of the survey vessel in a “Sea Chest.” This chest is filled with fresh water in order to protect the array from corrosion, while providing a medium for the sub-bottom sonar signal to travel through. - Page 54 The sides of the enclosure should be high enough to allow inspection of the array; EdgeTech recommends the sides of the box be at least 30 cm higher than the top of the transducers. There should be a minimum of 5 cm between the sides of the transducers and the sides of the sea chest.
