SS538
Innovative Technology
Airmar’s commitment to innovative technology has produced the SS538. This broadband 200 kHz transducer has a Q of 2 and very good sensitivity. It enables users to perform accurate surveys in shallow-water with high resolution. This transducer can also be “chirped” with a long pulse over a wide-frequency band. Users with adjustable-frequency echosounders will be able to regulate the operating frequency and tailor the beamwidth to specific survey conditions.
Applications
River, harbor, and estuary survey
