HOW SONAR WORKS

HOW SONAR WORKS

Your Humminbird unit uses sonar to locate and define underwater objects, define the bottom terrain, as well as determine distance.

Sonar technology is based on sound waves. Your Humminbird unit sends out a sound wave signal. With this signal it determines distance by measuring the time between the transmission of the sound wave and when the sound wave is reflected off an object. Your Humminbird uses the reflected signal to interpret location, size and composition of an object.

Sonar is very fast. A sound wave can travel from the surface to a depth of 70m (240') and back again in less than ¹⁄₄ of a second. It is unlikely that your boat can "outrun" this sonar signal.

The 350TX is a dual frequency, tri-beam unit, and generates three distinct sonar signals - one narrow, two wide. Each signal is optimized for a particular purpose. First, the center beam transmits at a frequency of 200 kHz in a 20° (narrow) symmetrical pattern for greater depth capability and excellent detail. Information from this center beam is used to draw the graphic representation of the bottom on the display.

The left and right beams are generated at 455 kHz for increased sonar resolution and are shaped in an elliptical pattern for greater area of coverage. (45º side to side, and 16º front to back.) Information from these two beams in conjunction with the center beam is used to accurately detect the presence and location of fish.

The combination of the three beams and dual frequencies, provides the best possible combination of a large area of coverage and a high level of detail.
