  • Patent number: 10451758
    Abstract: A software defined platform is provided for subsea acoustic applications that utilizes a broadband phased array transducer and a configurable, multi-function software defined transducer that is configurable on the fly to enable various subsea acoustic systems to be achieved in a single unit thus reducing the space required on the vessel and the cost of having such multiple functions.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 22, 2017
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2019
    Assignee: AIRMAR TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION
    Inventors: Didier Caute, Oskar Axelsson, Karl Kenny

  • Publication number: 20160266250
    Abstract: An underwater navigation system is provided, comprising: a transducer configured to emit a first and second acoustic pulses separated by a predetermined time period; a receiver array comprising a plurality of acoustic receivers each configured to receive first reflected portions of the first acoustic pulses and second reflected portions of the second acoustic pulses; the array including a plurality of neighbouring pairs of acoustic receivers wherein a distance between a first neighbouring pair is different from a distance between a second neighbouring pair; and a processor coupled to the receiver array, and configured to generate a velocity measurement based on the predetermined time period and signals from the receiver array representing the first and second reflected portions.
