Edgetech 3400 Sub-bottom Profiler

Edgetech 3400 Subbotom profiling system is a wideband Frequency Modulated (FM) sub-bottom profiler utilizing EdgeTech’s proprietary Full Spectrum CHIRP technology.

System generates high resolution images of the sub-bottom stratigraphy in oceans, lakes, and rivers and provides excellent penetration in various bottom types.

EdgeTech 3400 comes in a dual 2-16 kHz transducer configuration. The tow fish is configured with new PVDF receiver arrays segmented for standard sub-bottom profiling operations or a unique “pipe-liner” mode for optimal location and imaging of buried pipelines.

The system offers Real-Time Reflection Coefficient Measurements. This unique ability of the EdgeTech Sub-Bottom Profiler system allows users the ability to collect complex ‘analytic’ data using linear system architecture to measure sediment reflection and analyse sediment type determination. Additionally, the system has discrete transmit and receive channels allowing for continuous data collection resulting in a high ping rate particularly important for construction and pipeline surveys.
