    8.1 Sonar technologies Traditional sonar technology Traditional sonar uses a single carrier frequency or carrier wave for the sonar ping. The sonar works by measuring the time it takes the ping echo to return to the transducer to determine target depth. CHIRP Sonar overview CHIRP sonar produces a conical shaped beam.
  • Page 94: Downvision Overview

    DownVision ™ overview Sonar is effective at a range of speeds. In deeper waters the CHIRP bandwidth is automatically optimized to improve bottom lock and the DownVision™ produces a wide-angle side-to-side beam and a thin fore-to-aft detection of moving objects (e.g. fish) in the wider water column. beam.
  • Page 95: Sidevision™ Overview

    The sonar image is constructed line-by-line, similar to the way a television picture is composed of many horizontal lines. Each successive ping from the transducer adds a new line of image data to the top of your display. Each new line shows sonar returns from both the port and starboard sides of your vessel.
