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
