ADCP-150K Phased Array
Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler 150kHz
The ADCP-150K is a high-precision, mid-depth Phased Array Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler. Utilizing advanced, field-proven phased array technology combined with proprietary broadband signal processing algorithms, it delivers highly accurate measurements of water current velocity profiles, water depth, and carrier/vessel motion speed.
The system features a split-component architecture comprising a 150 kHz phased array transducer assembly and a separate electronic chassis. It is engineered to offer exceptional velocity and current measurement precision, high structural adaptability for versatile installation, and ease of maintenance. With support for multiple universal communication interfaces customizable to user requirements, the ADCP-150K is widely deployed across a diverse range of marine engineering applications.
