    The TOPAS PS 120 is a parametric sub-bottom profiler designed for high resolution profiling from less than 2 meters to over 400 meters depth. It generates low frequency signals through nonlinear interaction of two high frequencies and uses only the low frequency signal for profiling. It consists of a transducer, transceiver unit, and operator console for real-time processing. Key benefits include a narrow acoustic beam, high bandwidth, stabilization of the beam in roll and heave, and penetration of over 50 meters allowing profiling at speeds up to 12 knots.

    TOPAS PS 120

    PARAMETRIC SUB-BOTTOM PROFILER

    TOPAS PS 120 is designed for very high spatial resolution sub-bottom profiling in water depths from less
    than 2 metres to more than 400 metres. The +80% relative bandwidth, low frequency signal is generated
    in the water column as a difference frequency signal by non-linear interaction between two high frequency
    signals (in the range from 70 kHz to 100 kHz). Similarly a sum frequency signal is also generated. However,
    only the low frequency signal is used for sub-bottom profiling.
    System specification: The transducer may be hull mounted or fixed temporarily to the
    The portable Kongsberg TOPAS PS 120 parametric sub-bottom hull in other ways. This has the advantage of no deployment
    profiler comprises the following units: or recovery of tow-fishes is necessary during the survey, which
    results in more efficient survey time and improved positioning
    • Transducer/hydrophone accuracy for the profile. Manoeuvrability of the survey vessel is
    -- 4 x 6 channels also improved. In a “low-noise” vessel, excellent profiling results
    -- Three band receiving hydrophone are achieved even at survey speeds of +12 knots.
    • Transceiver Unit
    -- Linear, switched mode power amplifier The system can operate with various signal waveforms for
    -- Low noise receiver with 24 bit ADC optimum performance: Ricker pulses are used for very high
    -- High dynamic range; >110 dB resolution work; Chirp pulses are used for deep water, high
    • Operator Console penetration work and CW pulses are used for narrow band,
    -- MMI frequency sensitive work. The transmitted acoustic beam is
    -- Real-time processing electronically stabilised in both roll and heave (requires a verti-
    -- PC-based platform (Windows) cal reference unit), ensuring that the insonified area on the sea
    floor is accurately positioned.
    The parametric sources have the advantage of generating a low
    frequency signal beam with no distinct sidelobe structure. The Penetration performance depends on sediment characteristics,
    beam tapers off smoothly, reducing the possibility of spurious water depth, transmitted signature etc. Penetration of more than
    signals due to sidelobes in the received signal. 50 metres can be achieved in water depths up to more than 400
    metres with a range resolution of typically better than 5 cm.
