WBT Tube
Subsea Wide Band Transceiver
The WBT Tube is a subsea version of the highly efficient Wide Band Transceiver (WBT) used by marine research vessels all around the world. Its energy efficient design makes it perfect for installation on a wide range of subsea platforms and vehicles
Advanced Subsea Research Tool
The WBT Tube is a scientific echo sounder transceiver designed for subsea applications, sharing common linear FM (chirp) and CW pulse forms with the Simrad EK80 Wide Band Transceiver. It comprises two independent echo sounder boards, each featuring four transceiver channels with multiplexing functionality. This design delivers exceptional flexibility in configuring either split- or single beam transducer systems, making it a key instrument for advanced marine research operations.
Customizable and Deep-Water Compatible
Suited for enduring missions, the WBT Tube can operate at depths of up to 4000 meters. Available in two versions accommodating different power supply requirements, this device operates with an external power supply, either 15 VDC or 20 to 50 VDC. Its employment is wide-ranging, with typical applications including its use on Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs) and for environmental monitoring on subsea structures such as K-Landers.
