• | Frequency This value is the operating frequency of the specific channel.
|
• | Beamtype The Beam Type parameter defines the transducer configuration used (single beam, dual beam and split beam). Single-beam and split-beam transducers are available.
|
• | Gain This value shows the transducer gain (in dB) for the specific operational frequency.
|
• | Nominal sA correction Nominal sA correction for 1.59 dB. Hanning pulse shape.
|
• | 2–way beam angle The equivalent two-way beam angle is the solid angle at the apex of the ideal beam, which would produce the same echo integral
as the real transducer when targets are randomly distributed in space. The units for this angle is Steradians.
|
• | Angle sensitivity The sensitivity measure is like a volume control on a hearing aid, its the ability of the sonar to receive echoes. The angle sensitivity is set both along ship and athwartship.
|
• | Offset These parameters identify the alongship and athwartship offset angles for the transducer. These offset angles are taken from the calibration results.
|
• | 3dB Beamwidth This value shows the transducer beamwidth (in degrees) for the operating frequency. The value refers to the one-way Rx beam opening.
