An uncertainty assessment of the effect of using FM pulses on MBES depth measurements

The most recent generation multi-beam echosounders (MBES) allows to transmit Frequency Modulated (FM) signals, in addition to the more conventional Continuous Wave (CW) pulses. In this contribution, the effect of using these FM pulses for bathymetric measurements is investigated. Advantage of using FM signals is that measurements can be taken at...
