/ 3 /August 21, 2014 EM 122 Specifications – Frequency and range Frequency:12 kHz (10.5 – 13 kHz) Range:20 to 11000m Max swath width:30 km (-30dB) 6x water depth (down to 4000m) 150 degrees angular coverage sector Range sample rate: >2 kHz (37 cm) Pingrate:Maximum 5 Hz, mainly limited by the round trip travel time in the water. Mammal protection:”Ramping up” TX power
/ 4 /August 21, 2014 EM 122 Specifications – Frequency and range Corrections for doppler shift The long FM pulse used by EM 122 are more sensitive than CW pulses to doppler shift caused by movements of the survey vessel. Therefore active corrections are required during the signal processing. Coverage for a 0.5x1 degree system

/ 7 /August 21, 2014 Water column display as a standard Data collection as option. 140 dB dynamic range receivers allowing different gains for water column and bottom simultaneously. No TVG is added in the receiver but added afterwards to compensate for different transmitter pulses (CW, FM). Display and logging with correct gain EM 122 Focusing and water column
