A Hydroacoustic Transponder Based on the Principle of Laser Interferometry

Abstract

The hydroacoustic transponder based on the principle of laser interferometry is investigated, which consists of three parts: 1) the front-end module, which is a signal receiving and pre-processing module, and consists of a laser interferometric receiver and a filter group; 2) the signal processing module, which consists of the data acquisition module and a data processing system; 3) the back-pulse module, which consists of an automatic gain adjustment module, a transmitter module and a back-transducer. We give the detailed designing flow charts of the hardware and software programs.
