Offboard Acoustic Source
Abstract
Proposed is the fabrication of a 4-channel, offboard acoustic source system for use in the 1-20 kHz frequency band. Both deep water" (drifting) and shallow water (moored) deployments will be feasible. The source system will consist of a surface buoy providing GPS navigation and wireless connectivity for waveform updating and system control, pressure cases along with protective cages containing waveform synthesis electronics, power amplifiers, and battery packs, source transducers and extension cables, and mooring hardware including an acoustic release. The offboard acoustic source system will add an important new capability for the collection of mid-f"requency propagation and acoustic communication data.
