INSTRUMENTATION AND PROCEDURES FOR DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERSION OF SONIC SURFACE SCANNER DATA FOR INPUT TO AN ANALOG WAVE ANALYZER
Abstract
Electronic devices and procedures required to convert discrete ocean surface wave height data into a form suitable for input to a wave analyzer are described. Such wave height data, obtained with an inverted echo sounder (Sonic Surface Scanner) mounted on the deck of a submerged, hovering submarine, are recorded on magnetic tape as a sequence of pulse packets. An example of a power spectral estimate of Sonic Surface Scanner wave height data by digital and analog methods is presented to illustrate techniques used at the U. S. Navy Hydrographic Office.
