Ice transducer
11762090 · 2023-09-19 · ·

A transducer system for locating fish in water beneath ice. A cable coupled with a transducer housing both physically suspends the housing at a selected depth and a selected angular orientation and conveys sonar data to a display unit on the surface. First and second transducers are mounted in the housing and generate the sonar data. The transducers are mounted so as to have different relative angular orientations.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR SINGLE TRANSDUCER HARMONIC MOTION IMAGING

The present subject matter relates to techniques for single transducer harmonic motion imaging. The disclosed system can include a transducer. The transducer can be configured to generate an amplitude-modulated acoustic radiation force (AM-ARF) by sinusoidally modulating a duration of an excitation pulse of an acoustic radiation force, induce a harmonic motion on a target tissue using the AM-ARF, and simultaneously track the harmonic motion by collecting a tracking pulse. The tracking pulse can be interleaved between the excitation pulse.
