ES18-11MK2
18 kHz wideband transducer with 11 degrees beamwidth
XXThe new ES18-11MK2 transducer has an extended operating range compared to the existing ES18, increasing the data resolution and providing more information for target identification. Additionally, with the new design of the transducer elements, the challenge of ringing is reduced, which means the transducer can be used for both shallow and deep water measurements.
Transducer features
The ES18-11MK2 is a split-beam transducer with a wide bandwidth. It uses four separate sectors to determine the position of targets within the beam and support target tracking.
Typical installations
The transducer is mainly designed for use on vessels and larger Unmanned Surface Vessels (USVs). The recommended installation is in a drop keel or a blister below the bubble-flow along the hull.
