ABSTRACT

The Correlation Echo Sounder Processor (CESP) is a comparison type echo sounder which utilizes replica-correlation signal processing to provide reliable bottom and near bottom depth data for profiling. It is designed to operate with most oceanographic recorders, transceivers and power amplifiers. Conventional depth sounders usually utilize a short duration pulse of a single frequency to obtain maximum depth resolution. The short pulse system requires a tremendous amount of energy to be transmitted in to the deep ocean to obtain a significant SNR in which the equipment can operate effectively.
