Presentation On SBES

The document provides an overview of the Single Beam Echo Sounder (SBES), detailing its operational principles, components, and the significance of sound waves in underwater measurement. It explains how the device measures water depth by sending sound pulses and analyzing the time it takes for echoes to return. Additionally, it discusses single and dual frequency systems, ranging, phasing, and modern advancements in echo sounding technology.

WHAT IS AN ECHO SOUNDER

The term echo-

A device used for measuring the depth of water by transmitting


sound pulses which are acoustic waves into water body and
measuring the time interval it takes for the sound waves to bounce
off the seabed or any object below the surface and reflect back to
the device based on the principle of Echolocation.
