Transceiver Unit description
The MS70 transceiver is provided to transmit the acoustic energy into the water. To do
this, the transceiver computes and generates the electric signals sent to the transducer to
form a transmission - a 'ping'. After each transmission, it will receive the echoes from the
targets in the water column and/or the seabed. These are filtered and amplified, and then
converted to digital format.
The MS70 Transceiver Unit is housed in a 19 inch
instrument rack. Easy access to the front and rear part of
the rack is essential, as this allows for easy replacement
of parts. In order to reduce the loss in the transducer
cables, the Transceiver Unit is physically located as close
as possible to the transducer.
The main components in the Transceiver Unit are:
• Three transceiver subracks with a total of 25 transceiver
circuit boards
• One Ethernet switch
