Comparative analysis of the technical characteristics of hydroacoustic bottom soil profiling tools

Provides a comparative analysis of the main technical characteristics of some of the most popular foreign and domestic hydroacoustic means for profiling bottom soil. A number of promising samples are considered for each manufacturer. The comparison included hydroacoustic profilers operating in linear mode, as well as in parametric (nonlinear) mode. Hydroacoustic bottom soil profilers operating using tonal and linear frequency modulated signals are presented. Among the parameters that are of the greatest interest are the frequency of bottom soil probing, profiling depth, working depth, resolution, etc.
