xSonic R509LHW Wide Beam CHIRP

Airmar’s new Broadband transducers represent the next generation of technology that will allow fishermen to unlock new secrets in fishfinding. These transducers are designed for use specifically with Broadband, CHIRP, FM, and Spread-Spectrum fishfinders.

CHIRP Fishfinders transmit across a wide frequency band instead of using a single frequency. This is also known as “Frequency Modulation” or “Spread-Spectrum” Transmissions. These waveforms are typically of long duration and for example may start at 42 kHz and end at 65 kHz. Energy transmitted into the water can be 10 to 50 times greater than a traditional fishfinder. By storing the shape of the transmitted waveform in memory and comparing it to the received echoes using pattern matching techniques (also called pulse compression), it is possible to find targets within the noise and precisely determine their range with astounding accuracy.

R509LHW transducers are designed for use specifically with the Simrad NSS Evo3 series and S5100 high performance sounder module.
