hydrophone muphydro

MupHydro is a smart programmable digital hydrophone.

Conceived for long term deployments, each unit can be connected with up to 4 hydrophones and ambient sensors. This smart hydrophone can be used for underwater acoustic event detection and subsea noise measurements. It can be also used for permanent underwater monitoring, such as in case of oil and gas, underwater security and biological monitoring.

Features

• Designed to stay underwater > 25 years @ 3000m depth with no exposed metal part
• Top performance in terms of signal processing capability and multi-interface
• It can be programmed for a wide range of applications

Technical specifications

Simultaneous sampling of up to 4 hydrophones channels at rates of up to 500kS/s (for each channel)

Fixed or Variable Gain available on each channel

Capable of running high speed real time signal processing algorithms exploiting both FPGA with DSP extensions and the CPU

Local data storage, up to 32GB uSDHC

1TB External SSD compatibility for increased capacity and speed

Onboard Accelerometer for attitude monitoring

Applications

Acoustic event detection

Underwater noise measurements

Permanent underwater monitoring (oil and gas, underwater security, biologic monitoring)

Programmable underwater stations

Underwater data recorder (cabled or autonomous)

Installation on board of underwater vehicles (AUV, ROV, etc.)

Interfaces

2x RS232 and 1x RS485 interfaces

• 2x USB ports (allowing the system to work both as an USB and an USB device)

Communication

10-100-1000 Ethernet port
