Transceiver description
The Transceiver Unit is provided to transmit acoustic energy through water. This transmission and reception are commonly referred to as a ping. After each transmission, the transceiver receives the echoes from the targets in the water and/or the seabed. These echoes are filtered and amplified and then converted into digital format.

The ME70 Transceiver Unit is housed in a 19-inch instrument rack. Easy access to the front and rear of the rack is essential for smooth replacement of parts. In order to reduce the loss in the transducer cables, the Transceiver Unit must be located as close to the transducer as possible.
The main components in the Transceiver Unit are:
•  Three transceiver subracks with a total of 25 transceiver circuit boards
•  One Ethernet switch
