DFF3D MULTIBEAM QUESTION

[hillman]

I consider buying DFF3D multibeam sonar, just like WASSP multibeam which has 224 beams within 120° beam coverage, my question is how many beams does DFF3D have?

Thanks!

Three (3) Beams total,

The DFF3D utilizes a custom transducer with triple wide elements at a frequency of 165kHz. Each beam angle and beam width are selectable.

For more information, checkout the product brochure and product page.

Hope this helps, :sail

hillman,

The DFF3D has 8 RX Channels, while the WASSP has 26 RX Channels.

I don't know what RX Channel is, can you explain it in more detail?

Thanks！

So does WASSP has five beams or 224 beams?
THANKS!

hillman,

The DFF3D has 41 Beams using 8 Receive Channels. The WASSP has 224 Beams using 26 Receive Channels.

I hope that this helps clear up some of the confusion..? :think

Rx = Receive
Tx = Transmit

Deep Blue's answer is more correct, by three I was referring to Starboard, Port, Center.

Do you know how many beams and RX channel does a traditional fishfinder have?（such as DFF1-UHD）

Thanks!

 

[Deep Blue]

hillman,

A typical fish finder will only one Transmit and one Receive for Low Frequency, or High Frequency. For example Low Frequency will be 50kHz and the High Frequency uses 200 kHz.

For the DFF1-UHD CHIRP Sounder, it also utilizes one Transmit and one Receive for the Low Frequency using a sweeping frequency 30-70 kHz. And for the High Frequency, its one Transmit and one Receive using sweeping frequency between 175-225 kHz

I hope this information is helpful..?
