  2. Long baseline acoustic positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long_Baseline_Acoustic...

    LBL systems are unique in that they use networks of sea-floor mounted baseline transponders as reference points for navigation. These are generally deployed around the perimeter of a work site. The LBL technique results in very high positioning accuracy and position stability that is independent of water depth.

  3. Ultra-short baseline acoustic positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-short_baseline...

    USBL (ultra-short baseline, also known as SSBL for super short base line) is a method of underwater acoustic positioning.A USBL system consists of a transceiver, which is mounted on a pole under a ship, and a transponder or responder on the seafloor, on a towfish, or on an ROV.

  4. Underwater acoustic positioning system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustic...

    LBL systems yield very high accuracy of generally better than 1 m and sometimes as good as 0.01m along with very robust positions [7] [8] This is due to the fact that the transponders are installed in the reference frame of the work site itself (i.e. on the sea floor), the wide transponder spacing results in an ideal geometry for position ...

  5. Transponder (satellite communications) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transponder_(satellite...

    A communications satellite's transponder is the series of interconnected units that form a communications channel between the receiving and the transmitting antennas. [1] It is mainly used in satellite communication to transfer the received signals. A transponder is typically composed of: an input band-limiting device (an input band-pass filter),

    The user of the car may not even be aware that the transponder is there, because there are no buttons to press. When a key is inserted into the ignition lock cylinder and turned, the car's computer sends a signal to the transponder. Unless the transponder replies with a valid code, the computer will not allow the engine to be started.

  7. Underwater acoustic communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_acoustic...

    Underwater acoustic communication is a technique of sending and receiving messages in water. [1] There are several ways of employing such communication but the most common is by using hydrophones . Underwater communication is difficult due to factors such as multi-path propagation , time variations of the channel, small available bandwidth and ...

  8. Underwater locator beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Underwater_locator_beacon

    A 4-inch (100 mm) underwater locator beacon, with ballpoint pen for scale A ULB attached to a bracket on a cockpit voice recorder. An underwater locator beacon (ULB), underwater locating device (ULD), or underwater acoustic beacon is a device that emits an acoustic pulse intended to guide searchers equipped with a suitable receiver to the location of the beacon underwater.

    The devices have applications by frequency response For pulsation above frequency 100 Hz (i.e., for high speed pumps and all pipe systems shorter than say 80 yards): no moving parts devices. For pulsation frequencies below 100 Hz: certain moving parts devices of known membrane response characteristics.
