Abstract

EN UN SISTEMA DE EXPLORACION ACUSTICA MEDIANTE ECO DE PULSO UN TRANSMISOR (18) Y UN RECEPTOR (20), SE SINTONIZAN ELECTRONICAMENTE (114, 60, 70, 80) PARA DETERMINAR SU FRECUENCIA DE FUNCIONAMIENTO, LA SINTONIZACION ACUSTICA SE CONTROLA EN RESPUESTA A LOS DATOS ALMACENADOS QUE SE REFIEREN A UN TRANSDUCTOR PARTICULAR (4) QUE SE UTILIZA PARA TRANSMITIR Y RECIBIR UN PULSO. UN TRANSMISOR SIMPLE (18) Y UN RECEPTOR (20) PUEDEN UTILIZARSE PARA APOYAR UN NUMERO DE TRANSDUCTORES DIFERENTES (4), QUE SON AUTOMATICAMENTE SINTONIZADOS A UNA FRECUENCIA APROPIADA PARA CADA TRANSDUCTOR A MEDIDA QUE SE USA PARA TRANSMITIR Y RECIBIR UN PULSO. EL SISTEMA PUEDE VERIFICAR LA FRECUENCIA DE FUNCIONAMIENTO NOMINAL DE CADA TRANSDUCTOR, Y TAMBIEN PUEDE AJUSTAR LA FRECUENCIA DE FUNCIONAMIENTO USADA CON CUALQUIER TRANSDUCTOR PARTICULAR PARA OPTIMIZAR SU RENDIMIENTO.
