3 Introduction to Interferometric Sonar Concepts and Technology / 3 / 30-Nov-09
4 How does an interferometer work? Transmitted pulse geometry similar to side scan Multiple receive staves (typically 4) Phase of returned sonar signal is measured on each stave Differential Phase is used to determine return angle Data is a time series (of angles, amplitudes, and other attributes) / 4 / 30-Nov-09
5 The data products: Side scan transmit geometry Simultaneous bathymetry and amplitude data (range series of angles and amplitudes) / 5 / 30-Nov-09
6 Principles of operation Transmit is short in time (a few cycles), wide across track and narrow along track (like a side scan) Multiple receiver staves within each transducer Phase measurement based on differential time Phase difference (Ф) / 6 / 30-Nov-09
7 Limitation: Interferometric Noise Sources Phasor diagrams illustrating sliding footprint and sea noise effects Result: interferometric raw data has angle noise / 7 / 30-Nov-09
8 / 8 / 30-Nov-09 Looking at the Raw Data in Detail: key feature: 1000s of data points/ping Accurate range, noisy angle
9 Basics of Interferometric Data Processing Key steps: Amplitude filtering Statistical filtering Binning / 9 / 30-Nov-09
10 Summary of interferometer attributes: Wide field of view (>240degrees) Data density similar to digital side scan Simultaneous bathymetry and side scan Swath width is insensitive to roll Higher data density away from nadir Limited range due to signal to noise requirement for phase measurements High data density but phase noise means processing is needed to get accurate seafloor depths Able to be implemented in compact, robust, low power form - Particularly suitable for shallow water surveys from small vessels / 10 / 30-Nov-09
11 / 11 / 30-Nov-09 The GeoAcoustics GeoSwath Plus

24 / 24 / 30-Nov-09 Standard deviation of filtered data
25 / 25 / 30-Nov-09 Data density at different resolutions
26 Interferometric data processing for high accuracy: Key Characteristic: lots of data with accurate range and noisy angle In each depth bin may be 100s of measurements with approximately independent noise and random distribution Mean of this many depths gives a very repeatable and reliable number Standard Error of the Mean = Standard Deviation of data divided by the square root of the number of data points Accurate depths requires high data density, good data filtering, and prudent binning / 26 / 30-Nov-09
27 Running a Survey: the side scan search pattern / 27 / 30-Nov-09 27
28 The side scan search pattern gives full coverage high resolution interferometric surveys: / 28 / 30-Nov m x 780m, 8m to 25m deep, 2h survey time 28
29 High accuracy surveying also requires: Data Timing and Time Synchronisation: Sub-ms PPS timing and use of time stamped ancillary data. Navigation accuracy: RTK GPS, or postprocessed position and attitude Accurate sound velocity profiles Minimise possible offset error sources: Minimise lever arms Align reference frame axes Accurately measured offsets Accurate ancillary data Good calibration: multiple patch tests, cross-checks Using above have demonstrated <4cm repeatability re. geoid. / 29 / 30-Nov-09
