Product catalog summary
Overview: The EdgeTech 3300 is a hull-mounted sub-bottom profiling system utilizing wideband Frequency Modulated (FM) sonar to produce cross-sectional seabed images and collect reflection data across various frequencies. It leverages EdgeTech’s Full Spectrum® Technology for enhanced penetration and resolution compared to conventional systems.
Key Features:
  • Superior sub-bottom imaging with a 20-30 dB improvement in Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) over traditional systems.
  • Multiple configuration options for transmit and receive, including new low-frequency transducers and optional PVDF receivers.
  • Enhanced pulse libraries for increased penetration and resolution, with dual frequency pulse transmission capability.
  • Full ocean depth capabilities, allowing multiple pulses in the water column.
  • Analytic signal data preserving phase information for advanced post-processing.
Applications: The system is suitable for EEZ coastal planning, geo-technical and geohazard surveys, environmental site investigations, geological studies, sediment classification, and geophysical surveys.
Specifications:
  • Transducer Array: Various configurations ranging from 2-16 kHz with beamwidths from 20° to 40° at 4.5 kHz, supporting depths from 300 m to 5000 m.
  • Resolution and Penetration: Resolution ranges from 6 to 25 cm, with penetration depths of up to 150 m in clay.
  • Receive Options: Standard and switchable arrays, with optional PVDF hydrophone panels for longer pulse use in shallow waters.
  • Topside Processor: Standard 19” rack with up to 8 kW amplifier output, 19-bit resolution, and 200 kHz max sampling rate. Supports .jsf, .xtf, and SEG-Y file formats.

EdgeTech's Full Spectrum® Technology has several distinct advantages over conventional sub-bottom systems, including increased penetration and higher resolution. Because the FM pulse is generated by a digital to analog converter with a wide dynamic range, the energy, amplitude and phase characteristics of the acoustic pulse can be precisely controlled. This precision produces the high repeatability and signal definition required for sediment classification. The tapered waveform spectrum, results in images that have virtually constant resolution with depth. Another Full Spectrum advantage is the reduction of side lobes in the effective transducer aperture. The wide bandwidth of the sweep frequency has an effect of smearing the side lobes of the transducer. The result is a beam pattern with almost no side lobes. The frequency range of operation is determined by the acoustic characteristics of the transmitter and receiver mounted on the vessel. Depending on the array size the system can transmit acoustic pulses with different center frequencies and bandwidths. The selection of the pulse is made by the operator while profiling to achieve the best imagery. For more information please visit [email protected] | USA 1.508.291.0
