  • Page 80: Self Noise

    Simrad CS90 Installation Manual • Acoustic noise from other hydroacoustic systems The transducer cable is long, and may pick up electric noise from generators, pumps, cooling systems and other electric or electromechanical devices. The preamplifiers are very sensitive, and they can easily pick up electrical noise from internal and external power supplies.
  • Page 81 Preparations Propeller cavitation is a severe source of noise. "Singing" propellers might be a source of noise, which interferes at discrete frequencies. In some cases static discharge from the rotating propeller shaft may be quite disturbing. Cavitation Cavitation is the formation of small air bubbles close to the transducer face.
  • Page 82: Ambient Noise

    Simrad CS90 Installation Manual Air bubbles absorb and reflect the sound energy, and they may in worst cases block the sound transmission altogether. The boundary layer increases in thickness when it becomes turbulent. The boundary layer is thin in the forward part of the vessel hull, and increases as it moves aft. The thickness depends on ships speed and on the roughness of the hull.

    Preparations in other vessels may also be a limiting factor. The sea noise depends on the weather conditions. In bad weather the sea noise can be quite high due to the waves. Related topics Acoustic noise, page 76 Electrical self noise Electrical or electronic self noise is picked up or generated in any other part of the equipment than the transducer.
