According to the interval time of receiving the echo signal of the target after the sound wave is transmitted and the propagation speed of the sound wave in water, the position of the target can be measured, the strength and the structure of the echo signal are analyzed, and the target strength, the target quantity, the distribution condition and the like can be estimated.
The conventional calibration method is that a small ball is hung below a transducer, the position and the depth of the small ball are controlled by three fish lines connected with the small ball, and when the number of effective points in four quadrants of the transducer exceeds 400, the fish finder completes calibration.
