MultiSpectral versus Multifrequency Backscatter: A Generational Advancement
Multibeam Backscatter is a tool used in seafloor characterization, and R2Sonic‘s recent MultiSpectral Backscatter advancement dramatically improves this process. MultiSpectral Backscatter comprises two or more frequencies collected in one-pass using an advanced sonar capable of multifrequency transmissions, either interleaved or simultaneous. MultiSpectral Backscatter should not be confused with MultiFrequency Backscatter Older sonars can collect Multifrequency Backscatter…
